America’s Most Successful Communist (Pete Seeger):
By Howard Husock, Summer 2005
"The Popular Front sought to enlist Western artists and intellectuals, some of them not party members but “fellow travelers,” to use art, literature, and music to insinuate the Marxist worldview into the broader culture. The murals of Diego Rivera, the poetry of Langston Hughes, the novels of Howard Fast—all exemplified this approach. It’s an irony that communists should seek to change the culture, of course, since Marxism holds that culture is merely a reflection of underlying economic structures, whose transformation will bring about capitalism’s inevitable collapse."

Yeah, I knew that was Seeger. Funny, I recall him claiming to have disavowed his Communist views a number of years ago. His performing at Zero’s inaugural certainly shows *that* to have been a big, fat lie.
