Arundhati Roy is her name. She is from India. Her first book was called "The God of Small Things." She was sued in India for what one reader considered salacious sexual description, so liberals all over the world fell in love with the work. She made a great deal of money, and will make a great deal more before she's through. Her latest book is called "Power Politics."
Discussing it with Bill Moyers, she related her work to what she sees as the worldwide battle going on between capitalist globalization forces (read: tyranny) and the defense of the proletariat by the worldwide socialist globalization forces....(snip)

the defense of the proletariat by the worldwide socialist globalization forces. Well, at least they're finally using the vocabulary of Marx. They've been hawking his ideas long enough that the euphemisms were getting threadbare.

They resort to the lingo because inevitably things start to sound too Christian.

Arundhati Roy is, in other words, a dodo. A kind of bird that can only exist without competition, and isn’t that a perfect description of socialism? GREAT! Thanks for posting WD!!

You pulled a great quote out of the article, EBUCK! Very true that the reason the left wants to silence everyone's questions and criticism is that they have nothing to offer except misery for us all!
