Damn, this is the second time I've defended Malecki against baseless
charges - the first was when someone actually called him an anti-Communist,
a slur almost as at odds with the truth as this one. Malecki could never be
construed as locating power as an effect of individual agency. Malecki is a
revolutionary Marxist. He doesn't locate power as an effect of individual
agency.

Lord knows I've flamed Malecki in the past, but never with untruths. You
all produce such lousy polemic. Didn't Arbuthnot say that the best
political lies are the ones that bend the truth, making them more
believable, than absolute fictions?
