Oliver Stones Untold History of the United States is a ludicrous encapsulation of the Kremlins view of the Cold War, amplified by the Castro, Ho Chi Minh, Daniel Ortega, Hugo Chavez, Hamas version of the post-Communist decades.

I consider the reception of this latest Stone travesty to be a significant cultural event signifying a final coming out of the closet of what can only be termed the Communist left.

The fact that Henry Wallace, the hero of their malevolent work, was a Communist and Soviet pawn, is a perfect summary of the pathetic Stalinism that is the heart and soul of the world-view of Oliver Stones Untold History of the United States.
Some years ago I made a case for characterizing the progressive, liberal left, including the organizations that form the heart of the Democratic Party the government unions, the Soros Shadow Party, the Center for American Progress, and the Netroots activists as Neo-Communists. I made the argument for calling them Neo-Communists on the basis of the fact that there was no discernible difference between the view these political actors took of American capitalism corporations are evil, capitalism is bad, America is the great imperialist Satan and the view taken by the Communists of the Stalin era.
