There is a lot of talk that the Chicago crew just does not comprehend what is going on. I can't be that kind. They know EXACTLY what they are doing.
I think they know what they are doing in the context of an immature and possibly personality disordered mind...(hence all the reference to narcissism). Mature intelligent ethical communist is a run-on oxymoron..a lack of ethics is what one could define as evil. If you go up the ladder of disorders of narcissism in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) at the most severe you are looking at evil dead in the eye.
