Abstract

The article in the National Review discusses the life and anti-communist beliefs of William F. Buckley Jr., highlighting his strong opposition to atheistic communism as a central threat. Buckley's upbringing during the interwar period, experiences during the Cold War, and friendships with Whittaker Chambers, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and Ronald Reagan shaped his views on communism. He believed that communism's denial of freedom and promotion of materialism were monstrous and incompatible with human nature, emphasizing the importance of remembering the atrocities committed under communist regimes.
