Subject: M-TH: A world to win!


1848/1998
[while I'm on the job]

Rob taunts me with his prolixity,
Is the  prose dense or am I?
My eyes bulge,
my memory strains, 
and the old phrase comes 
back again to haunt me: 
"The History of all hitherto 
existing  society is 
the history of class struggles". 
True. 
I can't shake it off. 
Despite appearances 
society still exists
You don't say!
and with it, our story.
We have a world to win! 
True. 
The world is still there.
Can we win? 
Have we lost? 
No! 
True!
We won't lose unless we 
demobilise ourselves 
for the slaughter. 
So what about the opening line? 
"A spectre is haunting Europe -
 the spectre of Communism."
Well what about it?
Ask Jacques the Simpleton.
But would you believe Him?

Dave
