One reply on “Hiss, Boo”
One of various problems of mainstream anti-communism prior to the fall of the Soviet Union was in imagining the primary problem as being the presence of agents of a foreign state. And, once the Soviet Union fell, the mainstream of anti-communists imagined the problem as largely ended. But now our institutional structure is far more infiltrated by Marxists than it was forty to eighty years ago.
