Reminds me of something Klement Gottwald, the future Communist dictator of Czechoslovakia said, before the Czech Parliament in 1929....
"And we are the party of the Czechoslovak Proletariat and our supreme chief of staff is indeed Moscow. We go to Moscow to learn, do you know what? We go to Moscow to learn from the Russian Bolsheviks how to wring your necks. And you know that the Russian Bolsheviks are masters in this respect… That grin will be wiped off your faces!"
Yikes. Sounds like a fun fellow. I think Bernie did honeymoon in the Soviet Union come to think of it. Just not getting any warm fuzzies from Bern. ;)
