Stalinism still alive in U.S.A.!

A while back there was a furor over Elia Kazan - a very big name in Hollywood - being given the Lifetime Achievement Award .

The list of his great films -that seem to celebrate the free spirit - the individual vs. the crowd as in " On the Waterfront " is just stunning. No matter what the vagaries of his McCarthy era fink role,

Elia Kazan deserved that award.

The driving force behind the excoriation of The Rat -in case nobody noticed - was the Old Left , what remains of the Communist Party U.S.A. - for years the faithful lackeys of the Kremlin , not exactly the champion of artistic freedom or of FREEDOM anywhere.

Today you can read in the People's Weekly World that the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia was despicable HATE CRIME against the " socialist " Slobodan Milosovic. The real villain here ? You guessed it - U.S.

Imperialism ( in need of wage slaves in Kosovo ! ) In the United States right now a lot of public attention is focused -rightly so ! - on the Kooks of the Right eager to bomb federal buildings with hundreds of innocent civilians inside.

But the kooks of the Left are still around, still with grandiose and evil fantasies of Central Committees , People's Courts, and the glorious Day of Reckoning -when America will be delivered to its Stalinist saviors.

Then a Life Time Achievement Award will be presented to that enduring agent of a foreign power - Gus Hall.
