The Weather Underground plotted to bomb an armory dance and cheered the Manson murder of ‘pigs’.
John Kerry’s group discussed murdering congressmen until there was no more support for war in Vietnam.
So much for being a “peace” movement. Communists in America also rallied against going to war against Hitler and the NAZIs. Pete Seeger sang and recorded protest songs against the war. Woody Gutherie’s “this machine kills fascists” slogan was a convenient lie. They were fine with Fascism until Stalin was betrayed (and the slogan didn’t appear on the guitar until after the Pearl Harbor attack). Communists were behind the so-called anti-war protests of the 2000s as well.
Yeah, fully agreed there, like I said before. Sure, maybe there were a few people genuinely interested in peace on both sides, but the vast majority of the so-called “anti-war left” only used “peace” as an excuse to root for the enemy, or at the very least behave in a cowardly fashion via the whole draft system.
