Sounds like a paraphrase from CoL49, during a discussion about the  
"Peter Penguid Society" between Metzger & Fallopian:

	"But that sounds," objected Metzger, "like he was against
	industrial capitalism. Wouldn't that disqualify him as any kind of
	anti-Communist figure?"

	"You think like a Bircher," Fallopian said. "Good guys and bad
	guys. You never get to any of the underlying truth. Sure he was
	against industrial capitalism. So are we. Didn't it lead,
	inevitably, to Marxism? Underneath, both are part of the same
	creeping horror." "Industrial anything," hazarded Metzger.

	"There you go," nodded Fallopian.
