The Jews and intellectuals were the first to be purged.
I would add that Prager does not preclude the threat of Russian weaponry to devastate our civilization. He merely argues that the ideas of the left are a more immediate threat.
I understand Mr. Prager’s point. I just think it was expressed in such a simplistic way that defending it was a waste of brain cells. It is not “true” in any meaningful way: it’s an opinion, the explication of which would take time and specific evidence.
Re the Incas, I disagree. Their civilization was brought down with weapons (and disease). There are many surviving elements of traditional Andean culture - Inca and pre-Inca - but they are not a civilization as they once were. The civilization is now European.
Speaking of pre-Columbian civilizations, we had a guest priest at my parish on Sunday. He was from Guatemala, and he said the population of his mission area, near the Guatemala/Mexico border, was 85% Maya-speaking.
Jews and other intellectuals were Stalin’s greatest supporters. Their adherence to communism explains NY Jews’ liberalism today, most of whom came from Russia. German and European Jews have no such allegiance.
