      9) The younger group isn't sympathetic to left authoritarianism, either, for the record, but they take a diff. lesson from US's 20th cent.

      10) For younger radicals, the key lesson of the Cold War is not to avoid extremism, but that domestic anti-Communism blocked "good" politics

      11) So they're quite interested in breaking down anti-Communist "culture" in the US

      12) This is a very different reading of the "lessons" of the Cold War; though the two aren't incompatible exactly, they are often in tension

      13) And what's my reading of the history of the US left?

      14) It seems to me that the left has made the most progress in the US when it has been diverse, featuring strong intellectual insurgencies

      15) So I think that the divide is healthy, and not necessarily "divisive", and I'm very happy to be playing a tiny tiny part in it #fin

      PS 1: locked account chipping in with good point that relative strength of US / USSR (or ex-USSR) changes thinking

      @PatrickIber My thinking on these matters is that liberal anti-communist justified from 1945-1953, and anti-anti-communism after that.

      @HeerJeet @PatrickIber what because of Stalin's death? Remember that Western Communists only found out about much of the worst stuff later

      @Vinncent @PatrickIber Doesn't matter when they found out. Stalin's death created opening for new settlement (as Kennan & Churchill saw).

          @HeerJeet @PatrickIber ok, these are small disagreements, but you could also argue 45-47 was an opportunity to not have a break at all

          @Vinncent @PatrickIber That's something I go back and forth on. I think both sides bear fault for Cold War. Stalin's paranoia was a problem
