[DEBATE] : It's Trad, Dad

[Dominic Tweedie]

Well that's a puzzle, Doug, because some people think that there's no
such thing as Marxism, and that Marx was rather more concerned with
open-ended science than with constructring some sort of "meme", if you
see what I meme, I mean mean.

The late great Cyril Smith (he died only a few days ago) was good on
this topic. There's a Cyril Smith Archive on the Marxists Internet
Archive. Cyril was good on Stalin, too, by the way, and also on
Stalin's invention, "Marxism-Leninism".

I thought it was you who wrote about Yosemite Sam (as resembling John
Bolton) on here recently.

What about my favourite, though: Foghorn Leghorn!

Leaflet's ready. Sweet dreams. Bedtime now.
