I don't recall seeing this posted back in the day, so will add it now to go along with the rest of our works.
| Quote: | HOW COMMUNISTS VIEWED JOHN KERRY IN 1971
by Steve Beren, September 30, 2004
From 1968 to 1990, I was a radical antiwar protester, an opponent of the U.S. government, and a revolutionary socialist activist – a supporter of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP). The SWP, which still exists today, was a New York-based pro-Castro communist faction.
Since I left the SWP in 1990, I have become a Christian, a patriot, and a supporter of the U.S.-led war against terrorism. I have a special insight into the motivations of the current antiwar movement, the fallacies of their arguments, and the role of far left extremists behind the scenes. I was a member of SWP until 1990, and was directly involved in the Vietnam antiwar movement as a member of the SWP in the 1960s and 1970s.

During the antiwar movement, the SWP played a significant role in establishing antiwar committees on the campuses, and in organizing major antiwar demonstrations, such as the April 24, 1971 protest march on Washington. John Kerry’s testimony before the Senate in 1971 took place only days before the April 24 protest, and was part of the drama and publicity for the march, which attracted perhaps a million people.

And Kerry was no mere “messenger,” simply gathering and reporting the accounts of others. He was a central leader and strategist. As Halstead notes on page 610 of his book, Kerry was the “best-known figure” in the VVAW. |
