Subject: M-I: Epitaphs for Rosa and Deng


                    *Epitaph for Rosa Luxemburg*

                  Here lies buried
                  Rosa Luxemburg
                  A Jew from Poland
                  Who fought for German workers
                  Killed by order of
                  German oppressors. You who are oppressed:
                  Bury your differences.
                               -- Bertoldt Brecht


                    *Epitaph for Deng Xiaoping*

                  Here lies
                  Deng Xiaoping
                  A life-long party
                    and state functionary.
                  An advocate of the market
                    and free enterprise.
                  He re-opened China
                    to imperialist penetration
                  and ordered the murder of innocent
                    students and workers.
                  He died in bed, surrounded by
                    power-hungry bureaucrats,
                  With blood on his hands.
