Of course the SF Communist exonerates Hearst and his empire of urinialists, because Hearst, one of the top ten most informed people on the planet, and world's leading yellow journalist, would not know that Nazis were confiscating Jewish property.

Every country in the world, including the USA, confiscates property and sells it. If Herst bought these paintings in 1935, he bought them from a legitimately recognized government.
The NAZIs lost the war, and that was a very good thing, but if there were any justice in the world, we would be prosecuting people who bought things from the Communists as well. They committed crimes every bit as bad as the NAZI regime, if not worse.
