Shakespeare v. 2.0: Kiss your imperialist ass goodbye, Amerikkka
Serve the People 
(monkeysmashesheaven.wordpress.com)

“National and racial chauvinism is a vestige of the misanthropic customs characteristic of the period of cannibalism. Anti-semitism, as an extreme form of racial chauvinism, is the most dangerous vestige of cannibalism.
Anti-semitism is of advantage to the exploiters as a lightning conductor that deflects the blows [...]

“Dear Maoist Third Worldist,
A considerable problem in ideological development within our collective, as we are mutually studying Maoist-Third Worldism, is the deeply held belief that the compact between the Labor Aristocracy and the Bourgeois is crumbling, that somehow due to our “recession”, re-proletarianization is occuring.
