Trumbo withdrew antiwar book when soviets broke with Nazis


so when the Nazis and Soviet Union were friends Trumbo was antiwar -see Johnny Got his Gun.
He withdrew this when the Nazis broke the pact. cause he wanted the US to get in the war and save Soviet Union. I don't know who's worse this communist scum bag or you useful idiots for buying this bull.

Trumbo was a major scum bag. Communists and socialists killed upwards of 80 million people during the 20th century and Trumbo and his fellow travelers wanted to bring that way of life to America.

Yeah, that book was the main thing between USA and WW2. How could he withdraw it? That was a very irresponsible behaviour. After all, only things that prevent wars are anti-war, anti-militarist literature.

He was a totalitarian scumbag who admired genocide.

To equate an ideology with genocide is stupid. If so every horrible thing this country has ever done from masacaring Indians to dropping nukes to everything else you yourself are responsible.
