#1 One of the author's points is that the fall of communism actually empowered the left because they didn't need to defend anything.

The rest of this is stuff we've heard many times.

#2 It is perfectly logio: who allied with Hitler? Right wingers Chrchile and (by eueropens standards) Roosevelt? No; It wss Stalin and european communists had no qualms in sabotaging the armies of their conuntries in order to help Stalin's ally.

Far left and far right are not 180 degrees apart but 360 degrees apart.

#3 Until Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, British and French communists were engaged in active sabotage of the French and British war efforts. Only after the start of the German Eastern Front effort and Stalin's call for a united war effort, did the communists stop wrecking equipment and sabotaging vehicles used for transport. Hitler and Stalin had their pact, and the communists were busy aiding the fascists everywhere until the two dictators had their falling out.
