When I was a sophomore at USC, I was a socialist, pretty much to the left. But not when I left the university. I quickly got wise. I'd read about what had happened to Russia in 1917 when the Communists took over.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was in college, I was always saying I was a socialist.
I was working for the Socialist International, after I left university in 1959, as a researcher.
I became a Communist because I fell in love with a man who was a Red and entered the Army to take care of the Fascists, and I knew it would please him if I became one.
My father was an ardent socialist for many years.
At the time I belonged to the socialist party, and Hitler came to power.
I was even superior to the Communists and when they didn't go along with me, I quit them.
I was raised a socialist by two very socialist parents, and I still feel very animated about socialist principles.
I've always been a liberal and I've always had strong socialist leanings.
Let me tell you, very frankly, when I went to the Harvard Business School I was more or less a committed socialist.
I joined the Communist Party late in 1934. I got out a year and a half later.
