His description of the then USSR as "the society created by Lenin...and molded further by Stalin" is nothing but inverted Stalinism, made worse, if possible, by the anticommunist slander of Trotsky as the sponsor of the gravedigger of the revolution.

When he talks about politics he is an Obama-voter.
