Of course you have missed. Bailey in one of her books condemns
communist regime of USSR and predicts its end. Though she regarded
German nazism and Jewish zionizm more dangerous, as nation and
separation-oriented, while the communist evil she branded as a
gangster-like.
Her "new world order" is rather akin to that globalization which now
antiglobalists fight against than with communism.
You may read much critics on Christian fundamentalist sites where
Bailey and newage movement are identified with new liberal world
order.
By the way, Lucis Trust is not so rich organization as some think.
They have not enough money even to preserve their library and prevent
paper decay by gas processing.
