Saw this one on video, after getting an icepick in the pate Trotsky stands around telling his wife "Well, they finally did it"
I often wonder about the experience of Red diaper babies. Had a step grandfather who was some manner of DeLeonist or something. Can't get a clear description from his daughter. He died before my politicization took hold. It is instructive though, to hear loved ones bemoaning the plight of poor little McDonald's, set upon by the all powerful and thoroughly evil old woman who spilled hot coffee on her crotch. The real downside is when (white) relatives confide in you their little anecdote about how bad black people are and your supposed to grin and nod in agreement. mcapri
