Louis: It's too fucking much, isn't it. Both Rodwell and Miller think
things are better than ever for socialism. I guess this must be some very
advanced dialectical thinking. Posadas advocated preemptive nuclear
strikes by the USSR so that socialism would arise, phoenix-like, out of
the nuclear rubble. These guys are running a close second. We have
Goldman-Sachs, the scumbags who canned me, cutting deals across the former
Soviet Union and they think the capitalists are on the run.

Speaking of catechisms, their shit reminds me more of the Hebrew lessons I
used to have to take when I was 12 years old. Everything by rote, stripped
of meaning. God damn all religions: Judaism, Catholicism, Trotskyism.
