Had Stalin preferred a more moderate position, say, one closer to that of Neville Chamberlain (what a great moderate he was!), we would be saluting the Nazi flag today. As for myself, I prefer a strong Russia, even if that means Zyuganov or even another Stalin as her president -- that would make our so-called "elected representatives" listen to our concern instead of pursuing a new world order. IMHO, American liberals should kiss the soil where Stalin is buried, for if it were not for him, the New Deal they are so proud of would be just another raw deal a la welfare "reform" dished out by Southern boll weevils in Washington oligarchy. That brings us to the following multiple-choice question: How would the American society look like today, if the growing power of the USSR and her efforts to "export revolution" did not scare the shit out of the Washington oligarchy? We would have: a) military oligarchy a la Guatemala & El Salvador b) debt slavery a la India c) race relations a la South Africa d) social safety net a la Wild West e) religious freedom a la Iran f) class structure a la Brazil g) all of the above wojtek sokolowski institute for policy studies johns hopkins university baltimore, md 21218 [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice: (410) 516-4056 fax: (410) 516-8233 **** REDUCE MENTAL POLLUTION - LOBOTOMIZE PUNDITS! **** +------------------------------------------------------+ |Wenn ich Kultur hoere, entsichere ich meinen Browning.| | -Hanns Johst | | | |When I hear "family values," I reach for my revolver. | | (no apologies to Hanns Johst) | +------------------------------------------------------+
