My books were attacked constantly by the Communist Party for not hewing to the Party line. I have never hewed to a Party line of any kind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have opposed the Communist cold war line ever since, both by public utterance and by private help to trade unionists breaking free from the Communist influence.
I was surprised to see the meeting was of Communists and the whole meeting was along Communist lines.
I consider the philosophy of the Communist Party as not applicable to our American way of life.
It's essential not to have an ideology, not to be a member of a political party. While the writer can have certain political views, he has to be careful not to have his hands tied.
I'm not a communist, just a media theorist.
To be a member of the Communist Party is to have a taste of the police state. It is a diluted taste but is bitter and unforgettable.
When I was in China, Mao was Chairman, and parents were terrified to tell their children anything that differed from the party line in case the children repeated it and endangered the whole family.
With me it was that defending the Communist Party was something worse than naming the names.
I have never voted a party line. I vote on the individual and the issues.
Communists are great capitalists, so there is no threat anymore.
