Was every German-born officer in the union army a communist? I keep uncovering them. "Found Marx too conservative" shows up in at least a couple of their wikipedia articles.

The real failure to look in the mirror is academics falling back on comfortable “we’re partly responsible because we enforced left wing orthodoxy“ thinking rather than the less comfortable truth that Trump/MAGA are bad faith actors who will only be satisfied with resegregated MAGA academies
