Vladimir Zhirinovsky Quotes

American Communist Party Newspaper. The communists were so supportive of the war effort that they were often unconditional defenders of the Roosevelt Administration’s war program. Most communists suspended their advocacy of labor strikes and Black enfranchisement during the war because it would ultimately lead to the weakening of the Allied efforts against the Nazis. Programs such as the “March on Washington Movement” were seen as untimely and therefore subversive and fascist.

Greece was bitterly divided between left and right. Morrow and others were very critical of policies, practices and corruption of both sides much to the chagrin of our State Department which was siding with the right out of fear of communism.

Leese was imprisoned several times for various crimes including helping members of the Nazi Waffen SS escape at the end of WWII.

Fascists were variously described as “brown shirts” or “black shirts” at the time.

See Huey Long for a similar point of view.

The “Blue Shirts” were so called because of the color of the shirts that the young fascist thugs of the Nationalists wore in China—a color later adopted by the communists for dress. European Fascists tended to have young thug “enforcement” type battalions which were named for the color of their shirts: “Brown Shirts” in Germany, “Black Shirts” of the Fascist movement in England. Ironically, the Red Scare after WWII, convinced American leaders to support Chiang (who called himself and his party the “nationalists”) who was a deep admirer of fascism himself. Chiang’s version of Fascism which combined European type Fascism with traditional Asian warlordism and corruption alienated the majority of the Chinese peasants. America was forced to choose between Chiang led corrupt Nationalist fascists, and Mao led communists. We chose Chiang, but Mau and the Communists won. Chiang’s forces then seized Taiwan and this was the only part of China that did not go communist. After Chiang’s death, the island mini-nation became less fascist and more democratic, and by the 1990’s became a full-fledged democracy.
