Man, is that a really stupid take. I have never used Maoism as "the name of 
all that is evil" -- I simply pointed out my aversion to this strain, and 
specified, historically, why. That's it. It's you, Prof., who's doin' the 
ascribin', though in your case, I could get behind some Red Guards marching 
you down the street in a dunce cap.
