Agreed, Nestor. The Rockwell painting actually includes only the partial image of a single woman, too....
Still, the high ideals articulated by the "United Nations"--the allies in the world war--had a dynamic that carried over beyond the war. The most immediate impact may have minimized the impact of the Red Scare. It certainly encouraged decolonization and helped inspire the civil rights movements in the US. To a great extent, the political fights of the 1960s in the U.S. were seen as--and, to some extent, certainly were--a continuation of that commitment to a new social liberalism. The Left was too small, too repressed, too marginalized to extend this the direction of a revitalized mass socialism. (I hesitate to add that most of what little there was had become too mired in self-worshiping its own isolation, too sectarian, too barking mad, etc.) ML ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
