I don't really remember anti Communist per se—it's very anti feminist and grossly homophobic, unfortunately. Anti abortion too.

Godless Communism is all rational and bureaucratic, unlike Good Christians! 🙄 It was very much part and parcel with what I was being taught growing up as a Protestant—and if it has a slight whiff of antisemitism? That was (an unspoken) part of it, too....

I would imagine that teenaged me, growing up in the late 1960s-early 1970s, would have completely missed the anti-feminist, homophobic, and anti-abortion aspects of the book.
