Obviously, nobody should "justify" the unjustifiable or "obscure" the  
obvious for any reason.  Equally, nobody should deprecate or obscure  
the truth about any regime because of a greater hatred for another-- 
whatever labels one chooses to attach to each.  Politics should be  
based on the truth in all its dimensions and complexities.  That's  
"Marxism" tout court.
