The author of the posted article, Paul Kengor, is perhaps the leading authority on the history of communism in the United States. He wrote the most authoritative recent book on the subject I know of:
Dupes, published by ISI Books in 2010. (Seems as if his book may have been rejected by the left-leaning "mainstream" publishing industry.)
What astonishes me most about the Communist movement in the US is the number of active "genetic" communists, people who are raised from birth by parents who held a similar political ideology, so-called "Red Diaper Babies." Most of these people insanely wish to destroy the free enterprise system, despite the fact that they and their families were, for the most part, materially comforatable living within that system.

I had really hoped that, with the Fall of Communism in Eastern Europe, that the leftists in America would wake up and see it for the failed ideology that it was. This realization, based upon observable facts, would have brought forth a new confidence in the Free Enterprise System, based on Liberty and Law as outlined in the Constitution.
But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
