Tales From The 1950s Crypt- The "Red Scare", Dalton Trumbo And "The Hollywood Ten"

Click on title to link to Wikipedia's entry for "The Hollywood Ten", an honorable group of writers with connections, of some sort, to the American Communist Party who, honorably, refused to name names during the height of the American ruling class' "red scare" tactics of Cold War fame. As I have mentioned elsewhere in this space today we of the anti-Stalinist, anti-capitalist, pro-communist left could have better used some of the pens of these fighting writers than the Stalinists did.


Clip From Trailer for Trumbo (2015)- the story of the black-listed writer who wrote the classic Johnny Got His Gun.
