How Stalin Funded the Tea Party Movement

I admittedly didn't read the whole article, but it sounds like the Kochs, with their private company, capitalized (capitalism?) with a contract to do this work for the Bolsheviks in exchange for $. Isn't that what capitalism is all about? The Bolsheviks money was as good as anybody else.

If anything, it makes the socialist look sheepish with the need to hire from the outside to do anything productive.

But again, I didn't read the whole article.

I haven't read the article, but MLU's point is that the family helped to build the Soviet industrial infrastructure, yet the organization the family bankrolls is petrified of socialism and communism. If they were such a threat, the argument goes, how on earth could you risk the security and safety of America and the whole world in order to make a few bucks? And if the Soviets weren't a big enough threat to warrant passing on a lucrative opportuinty to help industrialize their economy, then why the fear-mongering about socialism and communism?
