James,I've had a superb education about communism and don't admire it at all. At the time I was born, when my father was a Communist agitator during the worst of the Depression, "anyone not thinking that way at that time wasn't thinking at all"--exact words of Cyril James to me when he was Chancellor of McGill in the early 60s. Socialism is practised, served in mighty dollops, in every country today. Call our system what you like, there isn't a corporation or groups of corporations that have the money to take on big projects as "private enterprise" without tapping James and King. Bethune the anti-fascist didn't "adore" Mao either. He was there long before Mao's murderous madness of governance. You can't deal with the past by eliminating whatever doesn't meet today's standard.
