Beautifully written, as usual. But I take issue with your statement "Communism came and went." Went where? It is alive and still in N. Korea, China, and Cuba. It’s not doing so badly in Russia, either. And it has rabid defenders here in the universities and in the media where they continue to lure followers. Communism lives. Don’t be like the hero in the horror movies who thinks he has killed the monster and turns his back on him. Sequels are made of such moments.
Yours truly,
