What would “it” illuminate? Just wondering, nathanbedford.
You bring up the key point right there. The hardcore Communist Left in America were very Nazi friendly up until the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. Hitler had been allied with the Soviets for years, and had circumvented many parts of the Vesailles Treaty with Uncle Joe’s help. Their working together long predated Molotov Ribbentrop. The Communist Left in the US was getting their marching orders from Moscow, and that included being friendly to the Soviet’s allies, the Nazis.
