Nevertheless, I Was a Communist falls into a crude pattern, both as melodrama and propaganda. Its exposition of the Communist conspiracy-how the party does Moscow's work in U.S. labor unions, industrial plants, schools, minority groups -is as oversimplified, mechanical and unconvincing as the anti-capitalist preachments of left-wing Broadway plays in the '30s.

U.S. imperialism today is attempting formation of a Catholic bloc round the Mediterranean [Italy, France, Spain] to form a spearhead against the Soviet Union. The Vatican, which claims to have been anti-capitalist even in evangelical times, when, to my knowledge, capitalism hadn't begun to exist, is now a strenuous defender of American imperialism.
