This is a classic example of what I was saying. If the man didn't have a name plate on his desk saying (VP - Communist)....well, you just can't be right.
.
Donald Trump has been endorsed by former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke.
Does that make him a KKK member?
I don't think so- but apparently according to your standards- it would.
Uh, I think we are talking about more than an endorsement.
But, I will say that if Trump espoused the policies of the KKK (and he may not be far off) but wasn't a member.....
I'd still call him a member.
Try again.
So- you think it is actually just entirely up to each persons interpretation- that identifying a person is entirely subjective- and that there is no actual definition of what a 'communist' is?
I produced direct quotes of folks who knew the situation intimately.
That is hardly subjective.

Since Wallace was never a member of the Communist Party- and never called himself a Communist- and instead belonged to other political parties his entire life- all you did was provide direct quotes of people who also never said that Wallace was a communist.
So your opinion is entirely your bigoted and subjective opinion.
Guess what: Karl Marx never carried a communist card either.
1. Henry Wallace, 1940-1944. “America’s main enemy was Churchill and the British Empire.” He insisted that peace would be assured
“if the United States guaranteed Stalin control of Eastern Europe.”
(Ronad Radosh, “Progressively Worse,”
The New Republic, June 12, 2000)
2. When Stalin seized Czechoslovakia,
Wallace sided with Stalin. When Stalin blockaded Berlin, Wallace opposed the Berlin Airlift. After visiting a Soviet slave camp, Wallace enthusiastically described it a s a “combination TVA and Hudson Bay Company.” Ibid,
3. In 1948, at the apex of Moscow-directed subversion of US politics,
FDR’s VP Henry Wallace, former Sec’y of Agriculture, to form the Communist-dominated and Soviet-backed “Progressive Party.” Of course, Wallace’s “Progressives” allowed not even the most peripheral criticism of Soviet aggression. (John Patrick Diggins, “Good Intentions,”
The National Interest, Fall, 2000)
The progressives received one million votes.
The Communist Party USA did not field a presidential candidate, and instead endorsed Wallace for President. (

4.
Wallace met personally with KGB agents. (Allen Weinstein and Alexander Vassiliev,
Haunted Woods, p. 119)
5. “…several prominent journalists, including
H.L. Mencken and
Dorothy Thompson, publicly charged that
Wallace and the Progressives were under the covert control of Communists. Wallace was endorsed by the Communist Party (USA), and his subsequent refusal to publicly disavow any Communist support cost him the backing of many anti-Communist liberals and socialists…” (
Henry A. Wallace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
6. In his diary, Wallace, whose view of the future of
America required Soviet-style Communism, wrote that FDR had assured him that he was a few years ahead of his time, but that his vision for American would “inevitably come.” (John Patrick Diggins, “Good Intentions,”
The National Interest, Fall, 2000)
He walked like a duck, quacked like a duck.....he was a communist.
