Very interesting Victor. It is my understanding that Stalin sold out the Spanish republicans in some way. Had to do with money, I think.

I feel that many Americans and others believed that the Spanish Republicans were on the side of democracy against a totalitarian bureaucracy (in this case fascism). Were they duped? Who were really the bad guys here?

The supremely important issue, in my view, is democracy vs. totalitarianism of any kind.

The issue of communism and the arts is a red herring, no pun intended. When college grads and people like pharmacists could not get jobs during the 30's in America, that's when people were attracted to communism. When times were good, who wanted to be a communist? Does anyone actually think that Warren Beatty with his millions is a communist?
