    Cornel West is the same. You sometimes hear him talk and you think “what a wonderful human being” and then he says something that makes you want to poke your eyes out…

    I’ll stick to Lenin for inspiration, thank you very much.

      I’ll stick to Lenin for inspiration, thank you very much.

      Lenin used to have struggle sessions with his own wife where he argued (a bit like a modern STEMbro) that librarians and teachers weren’t legitimate workers and should be somehow phased out of society. His wife changed his mind over time.

      I never forgot that once I learned about that.
