I discovered that I had deluded myself into believing that this world held the answer to the future and that Communism was basically humanitarian in its approach to politics. No one duped me into joining, and the struggle to see through my folly has been a great personal struggle. You don't discover some morning that everything you believe in, and perhaps have staked your life on, is a myth. The act of breaking with Communism was the most difficult one of my life.


As quoted in Escape Artist: Recalling a YAF hero—the unlikely, liberating journey of Phillip Abbott Luce, Shawn Steel, California Political Review, July-August (2000) pp. 23-28
