TS, is it that the nightmare of that tradition of left differences has been lifted from your brain, you happy tweety bird ?
Recall the sharp polemics between Lenin and Trotsky before 1917, but then they united for the rev.
Perhaps you lack dialectics, the understanding that things change and a concrete analysis of the concrete situation.

I find it oh so goody when the various marxists-leninists who a few years ago would have denounced each other as "revisionist goulash communists" on the one hand and as neo-confucianists on the other hand get chummy. It's as if to say "totalitarians of the world, unite!"
It just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling deep inside. I can only say, "Love is a many splendored thing". If only someone would write a musical about this! It really makes me want to burst into song. Read below how tovarish CB and tongzhi CC get along so swell. - -Thomas
