THE MASSES are fed up with a century of " Ogre Marxism " !

That is the Anti-Fa mentality speaking . " BS " on YOUR authority settles the matter ? Don't observe the FASCIST tendencies on the Left ? To be sure , the sectarian Marxist parties for the past 100 years -even avowed anti-Stalinists - show themselves to be incapable of finding roots in the REAL working class.

Effete images of Marxist intellectuals - ALL militant atheists- leading THE PROLETARIAN MASSES to the baricades- are now just a sick cartoon .

I have met very many RELIGIOUS working class people of all races and ethnic groups. I have never met any working people- not in touch with THE PARTY - who are languishing with a longing for the dictatorship of the proletariat with daily lectures sponsored by an American " Society of the Godless " as fringe benefits.

What kind of socialist EQUALITY party would immediately marginalize millions of the world 's Catholics , Protestants , Muslims, and Orthodox Jews ( many vocal opponents of Zionism ) ?
Investigate ANY of the sectarian Marxist parties that have survived the collapse of the Soviet Union. They are all led by a permanent GREAT LEADER ( with a very capitalist bank account ) and have followers much like those " Clears " in the daffy Church of Scientology ( And Chris Hedges lets himself be interviewed by SEP Chairman David North on the hot topic of FREE SPEECH rights on the internet ! )

True democratic socialists need a fresh beginning . Ponder this truth : that even SCIENCE is a god that failed in the 20th century. So nobody has a patent on SOCIALISM or the blessing of HISTORY.

Leon Trotsky - certainly a great revolutionary - has been over-glamorized in studies of the bloody and tragic Russian Revolution. In his hagiography of the " Young Lenin " Trotsky speculates if young Vladimir really did spit on the crucifix - for the edification of his now triumphal Bolshevik Party which Winston Churchill observed was dominated by young atheist Jews with a righteous grudge perhaps against the Russian Orthodox Church .

THE MASSES have had quite enough of " ogre Marxism "- ONE CENTURY of it is quite enough.
