This implies that anti-Communists are a strict subset of Communists.

One can understand someone without reading their work.

I read Marx, then understood Marx by reading a primer on Communism. I disintegrate into two socio-democrats and gamma radiation.

Only if you take the quote too literally.

I almost missed your pun there.

What pun?

Comment author: wedrifid 05 January 2012 03:50:27AM 1 point [-]

Literally/literary.

Still don't get it. I thought that was just a typo?

I assume that DSimon and possibly Eugine mean that the word "Communists" is included in the word "anti-anti-Communists".

I just thought they meant that the statement is only true if you assume all information about communism is only in books. But Eugene corrected the spelling, so I guess it was just a false punsitive.
