This is the typical dance of anti-communist "lefties." First, state or 
imply that of course we all condemn U.S. imperialism. Second, discuss an 
oppressive action by a socialist regime; it might actually have been 
oppressive, although more often the allegation is untrue or false by 
exaggeration. It doesn't really matter, because the concluding step is 
to froth so much at socialism that the starting condemnation of U.S. 
imperialism is gone. The State Department congratulates you.

LP : "The bottom line is that the encroachment of NATO at the doorstep 
of Russia is a direct outcome of the encroachment of the Red Army on 
nations throughout Eastern Europe."

LP replied: "What a knee-jerk Stalinist."
