To his credit, Seeger renounced Stalin many years back.
A very, very qualified renunciation of Stalin, with Seeger asking everybody to renounce ALL dictators, ALL injustices & ALL persecutions that have ever happened anywhere in the world at any time in human history, not just Stalin’s.
In other words, Seeger’s renunciation smacked of Jane Fonda’s “apology” to Vietnam veterans: hardline adherence to communism is bad for sales.
Just a few years back (1995) and reluctantly at that. Worshipper of a mass murderer he remains.
