Louis P in all his constructive socialist proletarian glory:

There's more filth inside the drawing rooms and cordoned off grounds of the
privileged, Louis, than can ever be found outside.

PS Note the abuse of our list by posting this crud under the heading:

The importance of Trotsky

When driven by personal and, more significantly, political antagonism,
Louis P loses *all* sense of proportion. He hates Robert reminding him that
the Vietnam war is not yet over, and he hates the only revolutionary
Marxist project today that deliberately tries to build for international
leadership of the working class -- the Fourth International founded by
Trotsky and his comrades in 1938.
