I didn't say that I thought ii was fashionable I said that was the climate of thought at the time amongst intellectuals. That's a fact. Can you distinguish between qualitative and descriptive statements? If I told you that Nazism was popular in Germany in the 30s would assume that I'm a Nazi?

No it is not clear at all that you were making a qualitative statement from the way you defend the 'free speech' of people being part of a fashionable communist click.

But I will lend you the benefit of doubt and apologize for assuming you were stating it as fashionable.

But I don't get warm fuzzies from you defending them.

Ciao.
