******************
Critical observations are part and parcel of a real, human, intelligent left which values free speech as something which the oppressed have *won* over the eons. It's not meant to be character assasination as much as a defense against cults of personality. Remember the old aphporism, taken to heart by so many official lefties in our history, "Criticism of the Soviet Union is, by definition, *objectively* counter-revolutionary."
