I knew Hedda Garza for about 20 years. She was a lunatic. She actually came out of the Communist Party USA Cesspool in the mid 1950s and never learned better. Worse than that, she was constant thorn in the side of people trying to build a genuine socialist movement in this country, against the very people who Trotsky had trained. She constantly put up conservative pressures: antiGay, anti women's liberation, antieverything from her position as a writer of trashy confession stories for trashy publications and her nest in suburban Long Island. Hedda topped that off by testifying as an FBI agent witness and as a spy for the US government in the successful suit in which the Socialist Workers Party convicted the US government for spying, burgluries, and other illegal harassment of socialists, antiwar activits, civil rights workers, and others fighting for social progress. More or less she tried to help the government fight the civil liberties of people in this country at a time when the government was being defeated and human rights were extended! That this person dares to have anything to write about a man like Trotsky who dedicated his life and his honor every minute to the socialist future of humanity, that this person who heaped stupid calumny on people who were trained by Trotsky, on the movement he founded dares to write something like this is simply revolting, simply revolting. Reading Hedda Garaz on Trotsky is like reading something about Martin Luther King written by George Wallace!
