Being a communist doesn’t mean being a foreign agent
- ggm 1y agoThere's an old story about sombeody like Manny Shinwell (a CP member in the house of lords) and somebody in the labour party convinced they were being bugged and speaking Yiddish to each other on the phone (as if MI5 couldn't find somebody to understand Yiddish, polari, you-name-it)
- ekianjo 1y agoDebatable since foreign powers were clearly trying to grab influence thru the funding of communist parties in western countries
- Popeyes 1y agoBut being a communist does mean you are more likely to be recruited if you are in a position of power and at a time of 'war'.
- croes 1y agoWouldn't that be an an too obvious foreign agent? Just pay a 100% capitalist
