The heart of a leftist/Last time

[michael at ecst.csuchico.edu]

One problem with the charge of Stalinism is that it tends to buy into
official demonization.  In effect, we are expected to say, I oppose the
policy in XXX, but I oppose Saddam, Milosovich, Khadaffi, Castro or
whoever is the offical devil.  Why can't someone say that I think that the
soviet xxx was good without having to account for whatever number of
deaths is attributed to Stalin.  Should I have to say that I approve of
social security without having to say that I oppose the screwing of
interns?
