Just out of curiosity...
I have no evidence that you were any kind of activist, but you probably knew people who were. Did any of them EVER protest anything that a communist country ever did? Remember Chomsky on Cambodia?
I remember when Joan Baez spoke up about North Vietnamese violations of human rights, and got her own head handed to her on a plate by the rest of the "movement."
Leftist opposition to Contras and the like was a lot more about them being on the same side as the U.S. as opposed to any human rights abuses.
Some organizations, like Human Rights Watch, are leftist, but work hard at being objective about abuses on all areas of the political spectrum. Most of the leftist organizations I remember during Reagan's administration weren't that even-handed.
