To Miss Margot Frank: Before I address your response let me remind you of Hanoi Jane’s political philosophy:
I, a Socialist, think we should strive toward a Socialist society, all the way to Communism.
"If you understood what Communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that one day we would become Communist." (speaking to students at the University of Michigan in 1970)

Those beliefs coming from an average American give new meaning to stupidity. Coming from a mind diseased by a lifetime of Hollywood politics is a testament to gullibility.
Parenthetically, I always thought Ziggy Freud would have had a field day inside Jane Fonda’s head because she was never quite sure who her father was; Henry or Tom Joad.
For your edification this scene is the heart and soul of the movie:
Muley is willing to die for a piece of land he does not own. Put that scene in perspective:
The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.
That definition is attributed to Karl Marx (1818 – 1883) and Friedrich Engels (1820 – 1895). Presumably Jane Fonda agrees.
Here is Socialism's dilemma. How can Communists fight for the common man when they want to abolish private property? Answer: They cannot.
Private property is more than owning a farm. Real property includes owning your own home. So when Communists abolish private property they must abolish homeownership. They have been doing that very thing with property taxes.
I don't care!I would rather have Communism then be ruled by the 1% of immoral capitalist scum.
