Comrades may denounce each other as police spies, wreckers, Trotskyites, Lovestoneites, grafters, stool pigeons, for spreading stories about the central committee, for social fascism, for individualism, for anti-Party tendencies, for rotten liberalism, rotten intellectualism, conciliationism, for having personal relations with Trotskyites, for white chauvinism, for Zionism, irresponsible Bohemianism-for innumerable heresies whose very names sound weird in a democracy, but which operate to insure unquestioned obedience from members.

Mr. Greene perhaps envisages a Nazi-dictated peace which would reduce the Allies to vassal states, which would impose upon them the Fascist ideology, which would force the acceptance of gangsterism as the usual method of international negotiation. Fascism and the use of might would sweep over the world like the Black Death; and in such a world, a free and democratic America could not survive...
