While I love Wallace's domestic and social outlook, from a foreign policy standpoint, he'd have been an absolute disaster, looking on as the Soviets had their way with South Korea, Japan, etc.
I have to question this. The man became very critical of Stalin as the truth about came out - he was certainly an anti-communist (what most Cold War rhetoric meant by "anti-communist" was "warhawk Russophobe"), and supported the war in Korea, IIRC.
So what's so disastrous about an attitude to the USSR other than unrelenting suspicion? The fact is, it never was -
couldn't ever be - any kind of real threat to democracy in America or western Europe, so the various quixotic proxy contests each side involved themselves in the developing world are hardly a matter of America's life and livelihood. I, for one, think a bit of understanding shown towards the other power that can destroy the world with a button-push is a good thing.
So, Wallace. I'm not American, I'm not terribly qualified to comment in terms of my historical knowledge, but the man was stood up courageously for good causes and had been unfairly maligned.
