She's a priestess wannbe in High Leftist Circles. What an utter shock.

Perhaps you will tell us in some detail what's so leftist about her papers compared to, say, those of Tom Paine.

"Perhaps you will tell us in some detail what's so leftist about her papers compared to, say, those of Tom Paine."

"An Analysis of the Causal Interpretation of Karl Marx's Theory of History"

And fwiw, didn't Paine move to .... where? Oh, yeah. France as I recall. Looks like his time there had some influence on his outlook about Christians:

"Of all the systems of religion that ever were invented, there is none more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory in itself, than this thing called Christianity. Too absurd for belief, too impossible to convince, and too inconsistent for practice, it renders the heart torpid, or produces only atheists and fanatics."

Funny. He sure sounds a lot like a leftist French dude.
