> Did you even try reading the linked article?

No. Nor will I.

> If you don't want to, at least show the sense and decency to not comment upon something you have no inclination to understand.

Ah !! We have an intellectual here today.

> Do yourself a favor and at least read it before painting it with prejudice.

Prejudice ? Sorry I am not dispassionate and fair and stick to the facts like the media does when talking about Modi.

You want me to read an article by a commie ? LoL.

Edit: Probably you are not aware of it. It is not fashionable to be a commie nowadays. That was way back in the '50s & the '60s.

I would recommend this book so that you get a better understanding.

To be sure. And it's not a new observation. In the forties, a famous book by ex-communist intellectuals was titled 'Communism: the God that Failed'. In it, they described both why they became dedicated Communists and then later why they became dedicated anti-Communists.

>Once the renunciation has been made, the mind, instead of operating freely, becomes a servant of a higher and unquestioned purpose. To deny the truth is an act of service. This of course is why it is useless to discuss any aspect of politics with a Communist. Any intellectual contact you have with him is a challenge to his fundamental faith."
