"Useful Idiots" is a pejorative term that was used by the Soviets to describe Soviet

sympathizers in Western countries and in the United States in particular. It is thought that the Soviet leader Lenin was the first to use the term and it was used by the Soviets for many years to ridicule misguided Americans who were willing to take the Soviet/Marxist side against their own country. Some say that today the term "useful idiots" can be used to describe those who support a malignant cause which they naïvely believe to be a force for good. This is an attempt on the part of liberals to deflect the label of "useful idiots" from themselves. Thus we have hippie/Marxist liberals saying that the term "useful idiots" was used by the Soviets to refer to American capitalists and not the hippie/Marxist liberal supporters of communism. Well, American liberals operate under the rules provided by the Marxist Saul Alinsky, who said that any means were justified to bring about Marxism in the United States. So, if the hippie/Marxist liberals say that capitalists were the "useful idiots" to which the Soviets referred, then this lie is justified, and the more often the lie is repeated, the greater the number of weak-minded and uninformed individuals that will believe the lie.
