I must admit that I'm curious about "What Makes a Communist Tick?"

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 11 points 22 hours ago

Love and Rage.

That actually sounds like a good thing to read. It'll either be hilariously incorrect red scare paranoia, or else it'll actually be unintentionally informative as to how the feds monitor and analyse communist groups.

I personally use the nefarious and manipulative psychological technique of talking to people, determining what complaints they have about society, and explaining how capitalism and the government that supports it are the root of the problem.

Communist Technique was a martial arts fighting system made by Stalin in 1942

There has to be a PDF of this somewhere, right?

[–] abc@hexbear.net 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I couldn't find any with the ISBN of the edition on Amazon (it was re-released in 2011, so that may be muddying the waters with ISBN searches on like libgen/google) but here I did find these which are tangentially related and interesting:

That top one from 1946 called the USSR state capitalist

[–] abc@hexbear.net 4 points 18 hours ago

It also calls the Nation and New Republic communist dominated. sicko-wistful

EVEN MORE SERIOUS in the long run were the effects of Communist pressure groups upon the liberals. Pressure came through two broad channels. The first was the left-wing press, so widely read and highly regarded in Washington. Newspapers such as PM and periodicals such as the Nation and the New Republic enjoyed almost a sacrosanct status among many government officials. These publications in turn were pro-Soviet and often followed faithfully the Communist line. Indeed, the Washington staff of PM recently resigned, alleging continued Communist domination of the paper.
