I think most of the peacemarchers are naive, as naive as the ten million Britons who signed the peace ballot in the thirties. I think that's a preposterous presumption. People don't want war. Their way of showing they don't want another Vietnam - only worse - is to peacefully demonstrate. The fact some parasites choose to join in is incidental. Make no mistake, these stalinists you keep referring to are not the catalyst of peace marches. BTW, Stalin was an equal opportunity butcher of people in that country. He especially liked to kill intellectuals and White Russians of the former aristocracy. Short people, tall people, young, old, he simply didn't care who he mowed down among the 40 million he slaughtered.

Well, here it is in full form. Stalinists, naive, the 30s. McCarthyism.

We are no longer living in the 30s, the 50s, whatever.
