Re: Every Communist is a spy.

I agree with you that countries with a Communist dictatorship/government often use cruel and inhuman methods to keep their reign and to subdue the people, but you cannot generalize this and simply say "all Communists are maggots".

Especially if you have a look at the context in which this interview with hoover took place, this whole persecution thing during the McCarthy-Era, you may change your opinion (not what Communist dictatorships concern, there I agree with you [gosh, I start repeating myself], but what generalizing, prejudices etc concern).

Evey Communist is a spy

That's so true.

Everyone who lived under Communist countries can agree with that wholeheartly.

Communists are nothing but maggots.

They force people into during their ways including killing parents and there is no family under Communistm but Communist party.

The Communist Party is nothing but brutal privates.

Down with Communists

Down with Communism.

This is so crazy...

Amazing, what strange thoughts the human mind can create..."every Communist is a spy", this really surprised me. I'm currently writing an essay about the persecution of communists during the 1950's and already got an idea of the people's opinion, but this is really, really drastic...
