remarkable. look at how Mr. Mao hit the conscience of his opponents.
beatings, murder and political repression on a scale barely imaginable. the
fact that you would actually attempt to engage an individual who brands a
working class militant as subhuman in rational discourse is curious. he views
her as an obstacle, opportunity to rally the militant, teach others a lesson.
she has become an object for him. probably always was. this is the politics
of manipulation and alienation. the rhetoric which has been used is identical
to that used in the show trials. 

i would be that you would be on a short list of those to be rounded up and
silenced if that type of marxist came to power. if you think otherwise, you
are more romantic than i would have thought.
