“I can remember one occasion, taking a shower with my wife while high, in which I had an idea on the origins and invalidities of racism in terms of gaussian distribution curves. It was a point obvious in a way, but rarely talked about. I drew the curves in soap on the shower wall, and went to write the idea down. One idea led to another, and at the end of about an hour of extremely hard work...

The problem with your critique of Stalin
fuckyeahmarxismleninism: By redguard, Fuck Yeah Marxism-Leninism Contrary to popular opinion, I’m not a fan of Stalin. My ideological orientation is fundamentally based in the work of Lenin, Trotsky and Sam Marcy. With that said, there is a world of difference between a Marxist-Leninist critique of Stalin (and the USSR during the period when he was its top leader) and the typical “Trotskyist”...
