Kind of amazed they'd give the peace prize to an avowed commie. The must have checked, right?

----- Original Message ----- Here’s the interesting sidelight that is (not suprisingly) absent in most mainstream media biographical sketches of Malala Yousafzai celebrating her Nobel peace prize. She’s a socialist and identifies with the radical wing of the movement. Or at least she did as recently as last year. In March, 2013, she sent the following message of solidarity to the Pakistani section of the International Marxist Tendency which described her as a “sympathizer” who had spoken at one of their summer schools the previous year.
