        Did I ever say Sanders was my hero? No, but I certainly would vote
for him for national office. But instead of responded to my propositions
about Stalin and Lenin the "Young Ultraleftist" goes on a string of ad
hominum (sp?) attacks and takes the discussion completely off track.

        This offers evidence for nothing, you sure have a strange mode of
deductive reasoning which suddenly concludes that since 62% of Russians
want Stalin over Yeltsin; therefore Stalin must be a great socialist. This
says little considering how approximately similar numbers of registered
votes will probably vote Clinton back into office next year, does that
statistic actually say anything for the quality of their policy?

        And perhaps you have missed the point altogether that I, unlike
yourself, put Stalin on my list of top dictators and cult leaders of
all-time. I neither want Stalin, Kim II Sung, or the old USSR.

        If you would like to have a debate without avoided questions will
you please tell me why Lenin isn't partially responsible for Stalin, and
the prematurely aborted Soviet experiment?

        But please do not waste your time trying to apologize for Josef,
as fanning the flames won't do anything but emphasize your Stalinism, nor
will it convert me. You are a Stalinist, Louis, aren't you?
