::::::You mention that you had never heard of him or his books before (yet you feel confident enough to edit the article!), and I have no trouble believing that, seeing as you appear to think he is some sort of Stalin apologist or thereabouts, and claim that he is taking Soviet slogans at face value. To that all I would say is that you have some reading to do. Cheers. |
