Imagine you are an anti-unicorn. Could there be a stigma against you? No, because there are no unicorns to stigmatize you. There are no unicorn front groups, or unicorn agents of influence, to blacklist you. Since unicorns do not exist, nobody in the world cares if you write a scathing book against unicorns. On the other hand, if you write a book exposing communist subversion, even if that subversion happened eighty years ago, you are likely to lose your syndicated column, your income, and more. The takeaway is, unicorns don’t exist but communists do – and they will destroy anyone who threatens them.<p>By calling me a “dinosaur” and a “McCarthyite,” my religious conservative friend demonstrated his superficiality. He sees communism only as an economic system that has been abandoned.
