Since when does Marx = "left jargon"? I can't think of any writer I find more enlightening, even exhilarating, to read.
Lenin's another issue, though. I'm really curious about what of his is relevant to life in 2000. Reimagining a Lenin for today is one thing; making his formaldehyde-suffused corpse walk and talk is another.
