Treason? Quote for the day.

Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason?
Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason.

-- Epigrams, Book iv. Ep. 5.

3. Commie!

   I was just scrolling down the list and the above quotation
caught my eye as did your comment, and I would like if
possible for you to explain for me if you would what you saw
in this quote that had in anyway to do with communism. I am
not attacking you for the comment, I just honestly would like
to know what I missed in my interpatation of the quote.
