MODERATORS
This is most likely a misquote of Steinbeck by Ronald Wright, a mere 20 years ago, paraphrasing something Steinbeck wrote in the 1960s about the 1930s which was specifically describing the communists that he had personally met.
As an overarching generalization it's catchy but not really accurate.
