Pete Seeger
I've been listening to some early Pete Seeger and what's striking is how he blended folk/gospel with radical politics. He was a Communist -- but in the 1930's before the Stalin/Hitler pact -- that was not obviously wrong. What is startling is the number of people who claim Seeger's meeting with President Obama shows Obama is a closet Communist. I guess they lost Russia and China but now are sneaking back into power through the Democrats?

Stalin committed many atrocities and at least one genocide (Ukraine) well before the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. GULAGs, purges, oppression, this was all known to the outside world, if not its full extent. That aside, Bolshevism in and of itself is and was abominable.
Yes, it was obviously wrong for him to have been a communist even in the 1930s.
