I read this on backshift when it first came out. I thought that it was funny but I also thought the most excessive ideas would burn out. I should have kept in mind that the structure of revolutionary movements is to be taken over by their most radical factions. We see this playing out right and left, for every would-be Il Duce there is a wanna-be Robespierre. And worse, there is no shortage people lining up to the next Reinhard Heydrich or Laventry Beria. History doesn’t repeat, it regurgitates.
