Are you saying, Charles, you do or do not uphold the form of governance and society that existed and evolved in the Soviet Union between the dealth of Lenin and, say, the 1950s? Do you see that as a model for the form of governance and society that we should strive for now? Because if you approve of those forms, what would be derogatory about associating it with a person that held the highsest position of authority during that period? And if you don't approve of the policies pursued during that period and their outcomes, why would the term not be descriptive? It seems to me that you do a dance of a thousand veils in which the other party is always a fair target for your attacks but your own position is invulnerable because it is kept under wraps.. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
