Marxist or Marxist-Leninist? Maoist? Trotskyist or one of its thousand variations? - followed by expiation for or explanation of (depending) all the sins of Stalin, followed by a roadmap to the Revolutionary Tomorrow and, at the end of the line, the complete program for governing. It's enough to make anyone want to head for the bar and forget the whole thing." -JoAnn Wypijewski, "A Stirring in the Land," The Nation, September 8/15, 1997 --- from list marxism-general-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
