                                                                                                "Until recently    average American considered   socialism and Nazism as something equally malignant as he should"

 

From the comment by   some Russian immigrant on a chain   letter showing the combined socialist/Trade- Union demonstration in LA.

 

 

In my first months of immigration to this country I was invited to the University to talk with the sovietologists.

 

-           Congratulations, you have escaped   from communism,- they greeted me cordially.

-           I never saw any communist in Russia, - I said.

-           What do you mean?

-           I mean real communists, the ones who read Marx   or   wanted to change the world. Instead    I saw a bunch of bastards in power. Those bastards    populated the country more and more until the % of them became dangerous and brought instability. Then I left. I guess real communists still exist somewhere. As for the bustards, I am sure they are a plenty here too.

-           You are right about that,- they said.
