Except for the field organizers of strikes, who were pretty tough monkeys and devoted, most of the so-called Communists I met were middle-class, middle-aged people playing a game of dreams.
I'd update it to say they are mostly in their teens and 20s, but it's the same group.
This was back in the day. The people Steinbeck described remind me of the women who participate in book clubs. I guess they still were in a book club, except they just read Das Kapital over and over.

middle aged? Interesting. I would have said they were early 20s late teens before they moved out of their mom's house.
