wonderful post Nestor.  Here in Australia the source of 'sepoy Marxists'
was the late Communist Party of Australia.  The typical former "bright"
cadre of the 70s who used to spout Althusser is now the Labor Party adviser
of the 00s.  It is all about being "reconstructed" a fancy word for selling
out the cause of the oppressed.
