"... risked alienating the anticommunist left."

edit

Some more explanation of how this expression makes sense in the context in which it appears might make the article clearer. In reading it, I don't see how a reader is to understand how a writer taking an anticommunist position in a partially-CIA-funded anticommunist organization would be thought by CIA officials to risk alienating other anticommunists, namely the anticommunist "left".

Clicking on the link for Congress for Cultural Freedom would immediately clarify that. Now, if you assume that all the left is communist, you have much to learn. Dahn (talk) 18:41, 11 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
