I think Ronald Reagan basically defines himself as a communist here. He says communism is "the suppression of liberty in the name of a common good." But shortly before that, he suggests he is against Jane Fonda's "liberty" in the name of the "liberty of millions of Americans" (the common good). MARCEL BROODTHAERS: But I imagine you might not always appreciate her [Jane Fonda's] views Mr Reagan. RONALD REAGAN: No I dont care much for Communist sympathizers to be frank. MARCEL BROODTHAERS: But surely she is liberated in her freedom to do so. RONALD REAGAN: If ones liberty threatens to undermine the liberty of millions of Americans then I must disagree Marcel. <SNIP> MARCEL BROODTHAERS: Thats a good point Edward. Can you even tell us what communism is Mr Reagan. RONALD REAGAN: Its the suppression of liberty in the name of a common good.
