Hill-O-Lies' bona fides as a Communist are abundantly validated by her own admission, in letters she wrote to her hero SAUL ALINSKY, for whom she wanted to work when she left college. Alinsky's stated goal (articulated in Rules for Radicals) was to overthrow the United States government BY ANY AND ALL MEANS NECESSARY - a goal which Hill-O-Lies shared.
Alinsky fully admitted that he saw nothing whatsoever morally wrong with violent revolution (as in the formation of the Soviet Union) except that like Trotskii, he believed that blunt force physical combat/slaughter would not be as EFFECTIVE as the more-subtle approach.
She stated that she chose not to go to work with Alinsky because she wanted to go into government service and feared that association with his organization would be a negative (a radical Marxist revolutionary socialist). In her letters to Alinsky she seemed bitterly disappointed and apologized profusely, swearing that she "shared all of the goals to which Marxist Revolution aspires" but that she had decided to approach revolution from a different direction.
Yep. She did that alright. Deceit, sedition, subversion, deception, sabotage. Those are more her style.
