There has never been a true love, a true democracy, a true blue boy
blowing his horn. 
There have been Marxist states. They failed or are failing. There has
never been a true Capitalist state, but there are capitalist states. The
seem to be succeeding where Marxist states have failed. Is this too
naïve. Sure, I guess it is. But even I know that the "true Marxist
state" argument," as Paul pointed out, is a cop out. How about this? TRP
is not a Marxist. Why not? Marx is a dialectician for starters. The last
time I said  this I got piled on by the Marxist on the list. The
immediately called me a fascist. 

You see, there is a gang mentality sometimes because people get very
nasty. Even when they are in the canvas bleeding they spit. Like Doug.
Jbore knocks his ass down and so he calls Jbore a racist, fascist,
apologist for slavery, white supremacist, anti-Semitic nazi. 

So it goes,

PS and you thought I was finished with this shit?
