I suppose at that level of authoritarian control, "wings" are beside the 
point.

A historian friend tells me that the author recommended By Paul, Bullock, is 
indeed reliable, though there are some new bios that are more up to date ... 
I'll have to read up on it if I can overcome my ennui ... 

Right wing conspirators taking over a left wing party by becoming it sounds 
like a bit of a stretch; they didn't do anything particularly right wing -- 
carried out the same catechism of genocide as the other Leftists (Lenin, 
Stalin, Mao, ho, Pol pot, etc.) ... 

When you've got tens of millions of dead, the distinctions between one 
totalitarian cult and another escape me ... Mussolini was another one who got 
his start under the Socialists, but I guess the uniforms weren't snazzy 
enough for him so he created fascism, which Pencilstache used as a model ... 

Tell me why I hate Mondays,
