It’s their “guiding” philosophy.
That’s better. I just finished reading Whittaker Chambers’ book, Witness. So, I’m particularly sensitive to the characteristics of Communism.
The book is really amazingly thought provocative. If you have not read it, you should.
I now know why the left hated Richard Nixon with such venom. He was the lead prosecutor against Alger Hiss for HUAC, which opened up the whole communist conspiracy within the federal government. Did you know that Alger Hiss was the US representative to Yalta, that he helped set up the UN? Did you know that Whittaker Chambers, along with Elizabeth Bentley, also exposed the fact that a senior official of the US treasury dept, Harry Dexter White was a Communist who set up the IMF, participated in Breton Woods and arranged to turn over the currency plates for the post war German marks, which were drawn on the US treasury, to be turned over to the Russians, who then printed millions of dollars worth for themselves.
Another interesting fact was that many of the communists in the government came from Harvard.
