Gad! You people give Stalinism a bad name!
What do you expect. Michael Perelman's mom was the infamous Fanny Goldstein
who organized the seamstresses at MGM in the early 1940s. When she wasn't
doing trade union work, she was marching around downtown Hollywood with
placards that said "Down with Mikado-Trotskyite Agents. Long the People's
Front. Desegregate major league baseball."
Pol Pot was a fascist - & you are scrabbling around to find some
potential 'sense' to his actions?
Yes, that got Michael thrown out of an Albanian formation called the
Communist Labor Party (Revolutionary) in 1977. That was when he was
colonizing an artichoke farm in Oxnard.
Steve Diamond is absolutely right.
Yes, that's true. We do need to combine slogans like "No War in Iraq" and
"Saddem Hussein Drowns Puppy Dogs For Entertainment".
Besides which _ I must also say that Carol is right. Somehow Good Old
buddy Louis is allowed the most virulent drippingly-'sarcastic'' (Y'all
know of course how LOW sarcasm is as a form of humour eh?) Anyone else
who try to drop a little "humour" is sternly told to piss off or grow
up.
I think everybody should grow up. Me, I am a lost cause.
And as for all this kick-another-reflex-anti-Stalin-shit - Well lets all
toe the party line- Eh? & finally the thought of Lou being a Stalinist
is perhaps the most sarcastic comment that one could make.
Of course. I am a dyed-in-the-wool Bukharinite. Peasants, enrich yourselves!
