Turbulo: Code words in whose lexicon? Have you ever heard of Marx or Lenin, Luxemburg, Gramsci or Lukacs? These people were revolutionaries, part of a long and intellectually formidable tradition. Anyone who would equate revolutionaries or radicals with hooligans and "ass-kickers" simply inhabits a different mental universe from mine. I know this isn't the 60s or 70s, but, Christ almighty, is the political/intellectual discontinuity that profound?!!!

^^^ CB: Although, one might say that Lenin was involved in some serious kicking of bourgeois booty and intellectually formidable as well.
