I was reading a review of Iron Curtain, a new book by Anne Applebaum, in the February issue of Harper’s Magazine, and I came across a statement made in 1946 by the East German Communist leader Walter Ulbricht. Ulbricht was explaining how the Communists would win “democratic” elections.
“We will organize them in such a manner as to ensure that there is a working-class majority in all towns and villages.” It struck me that this is exactly what Gov. Corbett and Rep. Heffley and all the voter suppression laws are doing. Just substitute “Republican” for “working class” in Ulbricht’s statement. The Republicans are using Communist electoral strategy as their playbook.
