Always apologize, always explain, or, Why Intellectuals like Genocide
The liberals are willing to apologize for the murders committed by imperialists, but genocide in the 20th Century was, with the exception of the Nazis, committed by Marxists and third world nationalists. Will the children of Theodore White apologize for their father’s support of Mao. Beatrice Webb went to Russia and marvelled that so many bourgeoise were willing to volunteer their labor building the White Sea Canal. (100,000 died in that futile endeavor.) Will her family apologize for her mistakes in perception? In the 20th Century, many liberals either ignored or supported the wholesale murder of class enemies, imperialist sympathizers, etc. Did any liberal hedge their support of N Vietnam because of their record of torture of American POW’s and targeted assisinations of S Vietnamese officials? I think many crime were committed in the name of imperialism. But in my lifetime they are insignificant compared to the crimes of the anti-imperialists.
