Back in the big period of revolutions, the late eighteenth century, the socialists were on the wrong side, the past and losing side, and ever since then they have been running around trying to intrude themselves into anything that seems to be on the side of the future, and the side of revolution In fact of course, revolutions, now as back then, have been capitalist, and often anti socialist, and the socialist presence and influence in these revolutionary and subversive movements has generally been as hostile and alien as that of Jim Choate and Mathew X is among us. Thus the Soviet communist revolution was in fact a counterrevolutionary coup, carried on by a tiny conspiratorial group against a chaotic revolutionary regime, Castro purported to be making anti communist revolution against the communist Batista, the Sandinistas came to power with Violetta Chamorro as their front woman, and then dumped this supposed leadership once they got their hands on power, and so on and so forth. This intrusion has generally had the same levels of hostility and anger as we see in Jim Choate and Mathew X. For example until 1944 the Soviet KGB administrator, Ho Chi Minh, working behind his desk in Moscow, had the agents under his direction spent far more time, energy, and effort murdering Vietnamese nationalists than they did killing colonialists. --digsig James A.
