This public baring of the soul by all Soviet leaders subsequent to Stalin was the ultimate failure in Revolutionary resolve, and all for what, the rehabilitation of the collective struggle within the namy pamby, latte drinking Western bourgeoisie left. Have we seen that in Western ranks with the likes of Carter, Reagan, Blair and Bush? No!!
Nothing short of a complete overhaul of society will see the twin risks of financial and planet wide excess halted. There can be no accommodation with those who would seek to preserve BAU under any guise. They, for one, do not seek an accommodation but the preservation of the status quo so to ask more of a Marxist is, in my opinion, disingenuous. We have seen where weakness of resolve leads us. Maoist China, that epitome of deceit and lies, is the oxygen by which the Western capitalist draws it's next breath. Post Stalininist oligarchiasm another example of the consequences of weakness.
You labour under some illusion that I subscrible to the values of bogus liberalism. They, in my opinion, are the slow tick of the clock of relativism by which the absolute values we hold society and it achievements accountable, are extinguished. Then we have the likes of the geo-engineers and other assorted deluded clowns advocating pie in the sky measures whilst our planetary home is reduced to a hellish shopping mall and super car park.
Add to this mix, the godmen and their promises of more pie in the sky and yes, it will take the iron fist of resolute struggle to free us of the chains of the capitalist Matrix.

Sorry I should have said "mass murderer."
For you to think I am "deep in the Matrix of American capitalist propaganda" is silly (probably not "beyond laughable," though

How do you feel about the Khrushchev report to the Twentieth Party Congress in 1956? Do you feel it is accurate? Was Khrushchev a capitalist mole?
