The anti-communists who opposed the Vietnam war (and oppose the Iraq war) are my kind of anti-communists. But, seriously, I expect any capitalist with a healthy instinct of class survival to be anti-communist. FDR wasn't exactly a philo-communist, was he? But that doesn't mean that there's no significant difference between FDR and Bush. Those are the distinctions I was trying to point out.
