Before Marx, they used to call the DANDIES. And the fashion came from where else? FRANCE!

Two of the key but little-noted features of Leninism were its sexual morbidity and emphasis on the elimination of gender difference. While there was certainly an ideological component to these, borne of Marxian ideas about equality and the division of labor, their more important roots are probably in the extreme wallflower-nerdliness of the people who created Russian communism. Anyone who reads Lenin's favorite book, Nikolai Cherneshevsky's utopian novel What Is To Be Done?, can see immediately that this is the work of a person who had almost certainly never been laid in his life.

Well said.

In this country, the idea of communism is limited entirely to about six or seven narrow concepts and cliches: confiscation of private property, elimination of free enterprise, messy mass executions, berets, goatees, bad teeth, shitty four-cylinder steel cars that get stuck in mud, clever espionage campaigns, parades. In America, if it's not dressed like Che Guevara and holding up a crucifix to a Big Mac, it's not a communist.

That's funny. Very funny. One might even say, ROFLMAO.

Excellent article. The left all boils down to narcissism in one form or another.

I like articls from the NY Press. They're usually pretty entertaining and spot-on.

Good post.

The author's too clever by half writing style baffles more than it illuminates. Is he making a serious point or is the entire column just an indulgence in sarcasm? Damned if I know.
