To: "H-Net Network on American communism and anticommunism" <H-HOAC@H-NET.MSU.EDU> Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 1:09 PM Subject: Re: A Secret History of Kronstadt moments? What is the name of this list? I thought it had something to do with the History of American Communism. It is becoming at least open to rants and personal ruminations with not glittering but dull generalities about vast numbers of people and what their inner thoughts and motives were. Of course slandering all who became communists. As for specifics it might be appropriate to note that Richard Wright wrote in the New York Herald Tribune in 1949 that he felt that "being anti-Communist was as much a case of psychological slavery as being a Communist." It might also be remembered that he hated the use of his essay the God That Failed as Cold War Anti Communist propaganda and was outraged when he learned that the CIA had helped finance its distribution.
