You are learning "guilt by association" well from Dear Leader Beck. Nice fodder for simple minds, but for us educated folks, it is poor reasoning, and silly.

You better go back to those schools and get the taxpayer’s money wasted on educating you back!
I have not claimed Alinsky was a communist! I’ve only disputed propaganda claiming he was not a communist!
But I won’t bother to address your tortured attempt to mis-direct, we're not talking about anything other than Alinsky being a communist. You’ve posted your disinformation which proved absolutely nothing, it’s been demonstrated that in your post he wasn’t asked and he did not state that he was not a communist.
I simply posted the preceding question and answer wherein Alinsky state's "I was in charge of a big part of fund raising for the International Brigade and in that capacity I worked in close alliance with the Communist Party."
The International Brigade was an effort by Comintern; Alinsky says he was in charge of a big part of fund raising for it! You’ve provided no evidence that Alinsky was anything other than a communist in radical organizer clothing and Alinsky provided us with evidence he was. I’ll venture that if he was not interviewed by the NKVD by default Comintern viewed him as a communist! I don’t have any access to NKVD records of the time but maybe someone of your fellow travelers do, if so we’ll all be happy to learn about it.
Using foreign Communist Parties to recruit volunteers for Spain was first proposed in the Soviet Union in September 1936 – apparently at the suggestion of Maurice Thorez[2] - by Willi Münzenberg, chief of Comintern propaganda for Western Europe. As a security measure, non-Communist volunteers would first be interviewed by an NKVD agent.

The Comintern ("Communist International", also known as the Third International) was an international Communist organization founded in Moscow in March 1919. The International intended to fight "by all available means, including armed force, for the overthrow of the international bourgeoisie and for the creation of an international Soviet republic as a transition stage to the complete abolition of the State."

The Abraham Lincoln Brigade was made up of volunteers from all walks of American life, and from all classes. Many of the people who volunteered for the Abraham Lincoln Brigade were official members of the Communist Party USA or affiliated with other socialist or anarchist organizations, such as the Uruguayan Hugo Fernández Artucio.[citation needed] Members of the Industrial Workers of the World ("Wobblies") were also represented. It is sometimes thought to be the first American military unit to be commanded by a black officer, Oliver Law.[1]
