"AHA! That explains it. It's totally partisan.

I used to  have a dictionary of philosophy from the 40s in which the entry 
on Stalin's  thought was longer than not only the entry on Plato, but the 
entry on Marx as  well."

 
Yes, that would  definitely be one way to characterize it, but I prefer to 
say that it has a  POV that I agree with.  At least there's no entry under 
Stalin.  It  goes right from "Stages of Economic Growth, Theory of" to 
"Stankevich, Nikolai  Vladimirovich."  Lenin gets a page and a half, though.  And 
it may  please you to know that Husserl gets half a page.  (They don't like 
him  much.)
