Now that's odd. I never heard any reporter talk about problems in Red China, from the the Red Guard or anybody else. They never complained about the ever-present travel restrictions in any Communist country. The press didn't want to make the Communists look bad. Liberals did want to make Serbia look bad.
American media are only interested in freedom of the press when it serves the liberal cause.
The opposite of nationalism is Wordism. Wordists say that we should forget our race, our culture, and everything about our natural identity. Wordists say that the only important thing is their Final And Absolute truth. Communism is a form of Wordism. All the thousands of other philosophies that claim to Unite All Men in Universal Peace are forms of Wordism.
