Lee Harvey Oswald
Since you mentioned Ted Bundy and that [r]eliable sources have also determined that Ted Bundy's membership in the Republican Party is significant enough to mention in books about him
and yet there is no mention on it of the lead, but the first thing we say about Lee Harvey Oswald is that he was an American Marxist
[sic]. Not only is that false, because the only mention of Marxist was some original research and synthesis stating that By age 15, he considered himself a Marxist according to his diary: "I was looking for a key to my environment, and then I discovered socialist literature. I had to dig for my books in the back dusty shelves of libraries."
(again, no mention on Marxist in the quote, so I took the liberty to at least change it to socialist which is what the quote mention; it should say communist or socialist because I could find no other mention of Marxist or Marxism), but the bottom line is, what is its relevance? Was it Marxism that prompted him to assassinate Kennedy? Are his political views actually discussed in books about him and Kennedy's assassination? Because if they are not, it is undue; and even if they are, there are better ways than having that as the very first thing stated or even being in the lead at all. I thought this could be of interest to you, so I wanted to share it with you and hopefully learn more about it, if it is due and so on. Davide King (talk) 00:15, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
