What Is A Communist? What kind of-people are American Communists? Probably a lot of people have pondered that question while they read of this trial or that, or listen to accusations by political leaders and various writers. , x According to some psychologists and sociologists, a frustration complex is the cause ; according to other leaders, all of them are out-and-out red-bearded devils in league with Moscow, intent on enslaving John Q. Public. For some, a will-to-power drive is sufficient explanation. But there are probably deeper and more significant rea

sons. Why, for example, should an American deliberately choose a life of langer, hard work, and little if any financial return ? Why should he choose to turn his back on his friends and family and live as an outcast from conventional American society ? There are various gradations of the American Communist party member. The largest segment is the "ordinary" Communist, a frustrated idealist; so also is the "fellow traveler.'! He dreams of a perfect order, in which "there is ecopomic plenty for all, regardless of social stratum. He is disillusioned by the sight of. social discrimination, feelings of personal insecurity, unequal wealth, and the .injustices of a .competitive society. But he, has forgotten the good things of life in America, in his bitter and one-sided concentration, and buoys himself with the rationalization that he has an "intellectual" outlook. He has forgotten the average high standard of living, his comparative freedom of choice, and the abundance of decent people around him. . .. , Not even his erstwhile leaders have any respect for this fuzzy kind of idealism, and he has maneuvered himself into the position of being easy prey for the persons in America who are the leaders of the American Communist movement. These men are likely to use him ruthlessly for their purposes, then abandon him to the tides of fate or dispose of him without the least compunction. The cycle is thus complete.
