I was reading a random biography of Kafka the other day and couldn’t stand the author’s relentless anti-communism. On his wikipedia page it said he had worked for the OSS 🤮
Just noticing lately that almost whenever I pick up any kind of lib or progressive history book that isn’t blatantly Marxist the author will find a way to trash communism in the opening pages somewhere, presumably so that worried liberals can be reassured that they aren’t actually reading anything that will threaten their precious careers.
It's America's favorite past-time!
