It’s odd watching a group of left-wing academics buck up each other’s spirits after they’ve encountered the cold, cruel world outside academe. Such a gathering was on display at the Modern Language Association’s annual meeting in Chicago this month whenever the Radical Caucus of the MLA met.

“The failure of communism did not result from Lenin, Stalin and Mao,” Grover C. Furr of Montclair State University told the group. “These were some of the greatest men in the world.”

“Socialism preserved the contradictions of capitalism, such as differentiations in pay. We should abandon the term ‘socialism.’ Marx and Engels did not write The Socialist Manifesto.”

Furr also says of the Soviet massacre of Polish officers in the Katyn Forest that “It turns out it didn’t happen.” Actually, we now have a copy of Soviet premier Joseph Stalin’s signature authorizing the assassination.

These people need to die. Where’s Andres Breivik when you need him?

Hi, my name is Grover and I’m a moonbat.

Breivik would be no help: he’d just kill the students enrolled in their classes and leave the looney leftists alive.

That almost reads like a Mel Brooks spoof of a meeting of "radicals". Far-left, pseudo-intellectual "academic revolutionaries" have become caricatures of themselves.

It would be downright funny if one of them hadn't gotten elected president of the United States twice.

These radicals are soooooo 20th century! "Greatest Men in the world" translated to the 21st century means they did not kill enough people.

“The failure of communism did not result from Lenin, Stalin and Mao,” Grover C. Furr of Montclair State University told the group.

True. Communism failed because it DOESN'T WORK. It fails every time because it ignores basic human nature.

“These were some of the greatest men in the world.”

True, if you define "greatest men in the world" as having the highest body counts in pursuit of power. Otherwise they were agents of Satan, in the purest sense.

You realize that if you got rid of Socialists you’d have to do without all the Genocide not perpetrated by Islam?

[Twotone]

By all means, drop the word socialist & tell the average lo-fo voter what you really are.

[a fool in paradise]

You consider it a failure because it didn’t deliver what it promised. But what if they intended goal was a politburo with power over the people? Power over the means of production? Power over vast territory? Power over thought?
