Confessions of a former Communist

No, not me. Mike Vanderboeg.

Over at the Sipsey Street Irregulars, Mike Vanderboeg posts a confession in a post entitled "Missed Anniversary: "Vous les Americains Sot Pires que les Francais." The confession? Mike, in his younger days, was a Communist. More than merely writing for underground publications (very risque) Mike was the head of a cell collecting weapons and getting ready for the "peoples rebellion." He describes how a German Doctor persuaded him to see the light, and how he renounced his former life. He has spent his life since trying, not to undo the damage done, but to see it doesn't happen again, a laudable goal. Go and read Mikes moving post. I had to avert my eyes several times.

You and I, Mike, were on different sides then, and we sure could have used you. But we welcome your efforts now. Keep on punchin' Mike.
