Nobody asked about Gus Hall

But it's true. When I was a lot younger I hung out with a lot of far left political radicals. Loosely allied with anarchism. One day Gus Hall, long time leader of the Communist party of the United States, was in town to give a speech. Afterwords we invited him and his friends over for a party.

Anyway Gus and got to talking about something... when he stoped and said loudly to the crowd. "I like this kid, I want him on my side of the barricades".
Fucking Gus Hall.

@corlin Whether you agree with his politics or not, you have to respect Gus for sticking with his convictions, no matter what the government threw at him.

@mach1group
He put on that he was just someones nice old grandfather...
But he was tough as iron. and about as flexible.
