OK, but it is no secret that Toffler indeed was a Communist and later a committed Marxist. It is also known that the Soviets ran numerous spy rings and infiltrated unions and worker organizations throughout the US; the Red Scare was perhaps an overreaction, but it was not completely unfounded. So it is no surprise that he was heavily watched by FBI and others.
(I am Russian, libertarian, and keep some interest in Cold War history. By the way, Toffler authored amazing books; if you haven’t read “Third Wave” yet, you totally should. It was finished in 1980 and it completely describes the future of today: from societal anxiety from Silicon Valley automation to the rise of Trumpism. I was really impressed.)
