[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Lovett Fort-Whiteman is the subject of a recent New Yorker article. He was one of a number of black expats who moved to the USSR while Lenin was still living, only to die in a gulag under Stalin.

People who insist that it's about class, not race, are in line with the Party stance back then. Fort-Whiteman, a committed Marxist, argued that in the US people were oppressed based on race as well. The Party had issues with that position, and ultimately he died for it.

This is not the first time I've seen the right echo ideas of Soviet communism, although I wish I could remember the others. [/quote]

This is somewhat true, but Marx became aware communism would not be implemented in the natural course of things and might need to be imposed at the point of a gun. I don't think the liberals you're discussing go anywhere near that far. At least I haven't heard it. [/quote]
