“The Five were, by the standards of the time, sexual rebels. They were very evenly balanced, two and a half each by orientation. Two were gay, Anthony Blunt and Guy Burgess, and no-one in Britain at that time was more uproariously gay than Burgess. Kim Philby and John Cairncross, meanwhile, were athletic hetrosexuals. Remember, this was a time when anyone caught with a member of the opposite sex in their room overnight faced the certainty of being sent down from university. Donald Maclean accounts for the statistical anomaly, being bisexual. This man Deutsch, who has spent much of his career promoting the idea that Freud and Marx can somehow be combined in one over-arching critique, explains, among other things, how fascism and sexual repression are in reality different sides of the same coin. In the entire history of the KGB I do not think it is possible to improve on Deutsch.”
