WHATEVER the Left propagandists and bleeding-heart liberals claim are the serious dangers of what is unfortunately called 'red-tagging,' such public identification of organizations and individuals as being fronts or members of the Communist Party, if it had been done in the 1970s with the same intensity that it is being done today, I wouldn't have become a party cadre, and remain one for six years.

And probably neither would the 10,000 youths recruited by the party, many to die tragic, really useless deaths in some godforsaken jungle and paddy field.
