Here's an interview about his time in the GDR/DDR (East Germany):

Victor Grossman

Victor Grossman is a journalist from the U.S. now living in Berlin. He fled his U.S. Army post in the 1950s in danger of reprisals for his left-wing activities at Harvard and in Buffalo, New York. He landed in the former German Democratic Republic (Socialist East Germany), studied journalism, founded a Paul Robeson Archive, and became a freelance journalist and author. His latest book, A Socialist Defector: From Harvard to Karl-Marx-Allee, is about his life in the German Democratic Republic from 1949 – 1990, the tremendous improvements for the people under socialism, the reasons for the fall of socialism, and the importance of today's struggles.

What did everyone think of the showcase?

Have you seen Twitter?

So many rants and ravings against us.

I love it.

Also, we don't support genocide, we are actually anti-genocide, as you can tell by our cpusa.org articles.

I tell the truth. I don't try to be diplomatic.

I am not a liberal though. This was done with analysis and Trump is a staunch Zionist and has even voiced support for Netanyahu, unrelenting support, even as Biden at least puts in a word about genocide.

So I can understand the Communist Party's position to not repeat the same mistake they made in the 1980s with allowing Reagan to win.

It was wrong of us to run in Presidential elections and not try to help block Reagan.

I don't. I never shill.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is ableist and offensive.

I am explaining my answers but you're not giving me much to go on, barely any hyperlinks or anything to debunk, besides what you can do through a quick search of cpusa.org or even a Google search. And it seems you didn't watch any of the speeches too.

"so you're just coming across as a troll."

That's on you.

Fae's also Autistic, like me.

Fae didn't know it was technically an American holiday till I told faer today for our therapy session.

Fun fact: the wife of the person that was executed became a CPUSA member (the wife of one of the leaders of the group)!

Her house was burned down and the FBI took all her papers from the wreckage, her burnt memoirs and all that, and whatever else she was writing.

All that history... lost.

I don't normally like Vox.

But this was a good article, if a bit liberal.
