Oppenheimer himself at his 1954 security clearance hearings denied being a member of the Communist Party, but identified himself as a fellow traveler, which he defined as someone who agrees with many of the goals of Communism, but without being willing to blindly follow orders from any Communist party apparatus.

Oppenheimer destroyed himself, allying himself with the only orthodoxy [but somehow being not orthodox] that was more murderous than fascism.
How is agreeing with some of the goals of an othodoxy the same as allying with it?
Further, how is an orthodoxy/political belief murderous? I thought only people could commit murder.
Oh please. If somebody is a "fellow traveler" of Nazism, he would be permanently banned from public life.
