Useful Idiots…Apologists, Fellow Travellers and the Like

I was listening to a discussion the other day about foreign China apologists these days – one particularly gross and regular apologist was outed the other day on a TV show. He’s a prime example of an opportunist of low to mid intelligence who lacks the historical, ethical and ideological background to understand the country he talks about – there are plenty more who allow themselves to be flattered and gain an elevated opinion of both themselves and the environment they operate in – I meet them regularly sadly. Then I came across this documentary series on the BBC World Service – Useful Idiots. The second part deals closely with the useful idiots who praised Mao.
