Now I get it. There never was such a thing as a communist. There never was a Whitaker Chambers, an Alger Hiss, the Rosenbergs, etc. Nope. Never existed. Just a big lie. Nobody ever espoused Stalinism for the US. Not "The Nation" or any other publication or person. Nobody ever learned at the (friendly) feet of the revolutionary Bill Ayers, or accepted as guiding principles "What is to be Done?" or "Rules for Radicals." It's all just made up. A fantasy. At best it's a fabric woven of disparate pieces intended merely to incite fear and win votes. Ya, right. Part of Hegel's philosophy, reflected in Marx, is that history is meaningless. People seem to practice it without knowledge, which also appears to be meaningless. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
