Using the Useful Idiots

 

There’s some debate about the origin of the term “useful idiots.” Was it Lenin? Stalin? But by the Cold War the term came to identify the emotionally manipulated masses who support communism because they think it will be more fair, or kind, or something—despite the hundreds of millions killed by communist regimes.

It sounds derogatory. Note that, if accurately credited, it’s what communist leaders thought of those they easily controlled by making them believe the “useful idiots” were doing good.

So I’m using this term in that sense, not necessarily to describe people as low IQ. Of those on the Marxist side of things, you’re either a would-be tyrant or a useful idiot being manipulated by the would-be tyrants.
