I can imagine this as a scenario I get for my sins in Hell. God, via his
agent the Devil, puts me in the Library of Hell and my task for the rest of
eternity is to put into order, catalogue, read every word of and prepare
for publication (for the punishment of the other poor devils in Hell) all
the infighting that ever took place between every Maoist faction that ever
existed. The final twist is that it is an unconditional requirement to make
an editorial decision as to who is right (they're all wrong -- God's a
comedian!).

Cleaning the Augean stables was a picnic in comparison.

And having a real alternative of putting night soil in order for the
general productive benefit of the community would be an honour indeed!

Funny the way Adolfo and the Quispes of this world see useful jobs that
proletarians do every day, and that they benefit from themselves, as
suitable punishments for their political enemies!

Cheers,

Hugh
