...Huks have set up their own courts, which are the law of the land in broad stretches of central Luzon. Huk justice is swift and decisive: cattle thieves and rapists, for example, are often executed on the spot. Huk agents exact tribute and taxes from thousands of Filipinos.

Those distinctions exist in virtually the exact same way today. We of the anti-Communist Left are still attacked by the others as "red-baiters," and we still reply that one must distinguish between the reactionary anti-Communism of the Right and the anti-Communism of any believer in democracy and civil liberties.
