Michael Pugliese: You read too much of this kind of agit-prop, Author:Davidow, Mike. etc. in the same vein ( then cites various references raising questions about the alleged achievements of socialist countries) ^^^^^^ CB: I take it you think that the history of socialist countries has been nothing but crimes, more crimes, demogogy and paranoia ?


>CB: ...Do you consider yourself a Marxist and a communist ?
^^^^^ Michael P.gives a very nuanced and complex answer. I interpret as meaning, briefly, Michael is a Marxist and communist purist , and he hasn't seen anything in the real world that passes his test, and it might not be for a long time to come. He has some heroes and heroines among theoreticians and among critics of the actually existing and existed socialist systems. CB: What do you think of Marx himself, his positions ?
