MmHmm...and I suppose that it would be a perfectly logical thing to do for him to kill thousands of the very people whom Karl Marx described as having been converted into mere wage labourers by the Bourgeoisie. Doesn't it make sense for him to kill all kinds of possible allies? >3) Lenin approved of Stalin but thought that Trotsky was >politically incompetent. Yeah...you know that Trotsky...a political bufoon. Stalin had 10 times more political prowess in his little finger than Trotsky did in his entire body. ;-) *Note: The above comments, if you please, should be taken with a large degree of sarcasm and hyberbole as to keep the meaning from misconstrusion. Thank You. This "book" if you want to elevate it to that status, ought to be boycotted. This seems, to me, anyway, just another underhanded attempt by the imperialists to hoodwink the public into believing that anyone associated with Communism, Karl Marx, or Socialist Russia is a bad guy . . . Joe McCarthy lives on . . . Comradely, Anthony J. Caruso --- from list marxism-international-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
