...popular. SDS had to sell its own ideas, without the help of the War. And we did come up with distinctive ideas all our own." The philosophy stressed quality of life, poor-white organizing, and community power within a critique of corporate liberalism. There was militant anti-anti-communism, i.e., the true enemies in this country are the closed-minded red baiters...

Chambers and Dos Passos had been vehemently for, and later, vehemently against Communism, and this perhaps is what disturbs Josephson. No Comrade Quixote, he was happily embraced by the New Deal bureaucracy, and remained a puzzled neutral in the ideological warfare of the time...
