Actually it was just a feeble joke, Sally. Now that you mention it, though,
I have thought for a long time that it is necessary to reinject a note, not
of some divinely-ordained morality but of a humanistic ethics, back into
leftist politics. So many communists like to eschew all appeal to human
decency and just embrace a simplistic and bankrupt might-makes-right ethic.
Godena speaks for many people when he says, "Whatever advances the
revolution is moral, whatever retards it is immoral," a view that would do
very well for a nazi.

Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.
