Louis: Malecki, Malcolm X came from much lower depths than you ever did but 
made a point of learning grammar and vocabulary when he was behind bars. He did 
this in order to create an impression that he was a serious revolutionary 
rather than a scribbler like you are. That is that on the style question.

Now on the content question. The next time that you say something like 
"the soviets put them into the service of the proletariat" or some other 
self-evident but bombastic phrase, I am going to take the next plane over to 
Sweden, look you up, and throw a custard pie in your face.
