Dem/Repug cadres -- equal bullshit
Social dem/progressive cadres -- less bullshit
Clinton Administration -- incredible bullshit.
Academics, think-tank workers, and lawyers -- generalizations are
bullshit.

One reason for the finding of bullshit re: communist cadres is my
higher expectations and standards of and for them.  Sort of like
people criticizing Israel for not being a light unto the nations,
and similarly unfair, if I meant to single them out (I didn't).

My post was not a survey of political formations, but a comment
