154. That is not a case in which I would unite with them.
There are cases in which I would unite with elements among them, however. Some are pro-growth, small "r" republicans that are not anti-labor. They may have some healthy instincts on certain issues. If "communists" were to attempt to take over, it would surely be because the progressive potential of the existing order had exhausted itself, and there was a crisis such as world war. In those circumstances, I would have to assess whether or not the "communists" were progressive or not. The right-wingers would surely be a dangerous faction to be repressed under such conditions.
