I never accepted Communist dogma or theory.
I was never invited to the White House. They invited that Olympic Russian gymnast - that little Communist, Olga Korbut.
Some fellow from the Third World kept hammering for prizes for a Communist film which was rotten.
I was a communist, but being left-wing was fashionable. I was no different from thousands of middle-class kids.

The world would be better off with multiple superpowers. When Communist USSR was a superpower, the world was better off.
I'm not a communist, just a media theorist.
