   I think he was concerned in the direction liberal democracy was going   
   more than anything. I certainly dont think he was a rabid   
   anti-communist, I mean what a massive depature for him if he was. I   
   mean, its like saying all his literay works and beliefs were false.   
      
   It sounds to me as if you are a bit of a revisionist.
