Ha! Usually I’m accused of being a commie, so I find it fun to be compared to those who I usually call fascists…

I think it has to do with the adage “the enemy of my enemy is my friend, for now.”
2.1.2
..or: Politics makes strange bedfellows.
2.1.3
…or: The patent system is under attack by the Left and the Right.

My definition of a commie: Someone who found no fault in the Third Reich so long as the pact between the USSR and Germany stood, then changed their position entirely when Germany invaded.
A commie ignores the mass executions of Catholics by the North Vietnamese while mounting anti-aircraft guns to shoot down the aircraft of the imperialists who come to their aid.
A commie distances himself from the French revolution only because the reign of terror is condemned by history.
A commie will fight anarchists even as the fascists close in on Madrid.
A commie is always be more equal that others.
And best of all, a commie is a craven hypocrite, a cynical practicer of double think.
I was there in Chicago when the SDS came to our campus. That was my first exposure to raw communism, and you better believe I was shocked and appalled.
2.2.1
