Tool of Communist agitators... it's really a joke, isn't it? Because, quite clearly, we are a party of real moderates. It just shows how little they understand.

The Korean War, which China entered on the side of North Korea, fixed Mao's image in the United States as another unappeasable Communist.
An argument fatal to the communist theory, is suggested by the fact, that a desire for property is one of the elements of our nature.
This is the basis, and I am not being tried for whether I am a Communist, I am being tried for fighting for the rights of my people, who are still second-class citizens in this United States of America.
