That reminded me of an email I received from a DJ friend just after Halloween last year:

Courtesy of Google, the Maoist Internationalist Movement's take on the "Red split" in American Satanism:

"Finally, after years of prodding by MIM, the Satanists considering themselves 'Reds' have organized themselves and in so doing, ended up getting booted from the 'Church of Satan'."
...and lest we forget the standard-issue Red/Antichrist angle:

"Marx' housekeeper told that her master was a pious man. He used to kneel on his bedroom and pray with black candles burning (...) Marx' appearance is also worth considering. Though having a beard was not uncommon in his age, it was by no means common to let it grow shaggy as he did. In the Satanist order of Joanna Woolcott, however, this was the praxis. Wurmbrand offers more arguments and their cumulative effect is, in my opinion, convincing. This side of Karl Marx has of course been suppressed, not least beacause those who are interested in him usually do not want to believe it..."
But enough - life is too short (serial Googler Pugliese must be immortal - a faustian bargain, perhaps?)...
