Well, I very much apologize to Tariq Ali. I just re-read and found at the bottom that the Times had selected this piece without further input from its author. But I ardently re-state what I wrote otherwise.

What a sad attempt. At a time like no other when we need to seize every opportunity, especially in the msm for lucid explanation of the reasons for the failure of the Soviet project, the costs to humanity and the alternative vision now prevalent on the left of a truly worker-run, democratic socialism, we get this standard, "objective", bourgeois shoulder-shrug from its author.
