Dr. Yuri Yarim-Agaev, a physicist who joined the Moscow Helsinki Group inside the Soviet Union and was expelled by the KGB in 1980, draws a line he says conservatives keep erasing: the difference between a political opponent and a national enemy. He has plenty of disagreements with the Democratic Party, but he will not equate the party as a whole with totalitarianism and communism, and he says that approach is wrong. Communists are not just enemies of President Trump, Republicans, or conservatives. They are enemies of the country and of its political system, and everyone else, on the Democratic side or the Republican side, should unite against them.
That was the case when he arrived. In the 1960s and 1970s, he says, you would find more anticommunists among Democrats than among Republicans: Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and the AFL-CIO under George Meany, the main anticommunist organization in America at the time. His advice is to talk to the Democrat country, not cut it off: it is our mutual enemy, and it does not go along the party line.
Jenny Beth Martin agrees, and names the Democrats who have said so, Senator John Fetterman and James Carville, and the two who will not: Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Hakeem Jeffries. They are not communists, the guest says, and the majority of the Democratic Party is not communist. They are afraid to challenge it, and the political situation will push them. But Republicans owe a gesture too: not all of you are communists, but let's unite on this one issue. We have many differences and we will keep them. On this one, stand together against the totalitarian danger, not to a party but to the United States of America.
Guest: Dr. Yuri Yarim-Agaev, physicist, Soviet dissident and member of the Moscow Helsinki Group, expelled from the Soviet Union in 1980, founder of the Center for Democracy in the USSR, who briefed President Ronald Reagan before Reykjavik and before his trip to Moscow and worked as a scientist at MIT and Stanford.
