      @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

      @HeerJeet @PatrickIber Back and forth is fair. But since I was raised in the US I always like to remind people of our side's responsibilty

      @PatrickIber @HeerJeet yes I personally never meant to imply domestic AC was 'justified' despite geopolitical moments or faults for cold war

      @Vinncent @HeerJeet even if liberal anti-Communism is the most moral position in US until 53, & I think I agree it is, there's still a price

      @PatrickIber @Vinncent Absolutely. There was never a morally uncompromised anti-communism.

          @HeerJeet @Vinncent Right. I don't believe in perfect politics. Something something not the circumstances of their choosing

          @PatrickIber @HeerJeet @Vinncent What about Wallace though? Weren't his exclusion from the ticket in 44 & loss in 48 lost opportunities?
