No subject

   I was amused recently to get an email from a Dr. Peter McLaren. I
   believe him to be [1]this Peter McLaren. It was just one line, a URL:

     [2]http://www.marxmail.org/msg13459.html

   Now what I find most revealing is that he and his fellow travellers
   actually think they can agitate to shut someone down, have them
   removed from a newspaper (or, I would imagine, an academic post) for
   simply telling the truth: that Marxism is a bankrupt ideology of
   hatred that has murdered and oppressed over a billion people, and that
   Che Guevara was just another in a long line a mass-murdering,
   torture-happy Marxist pigs. And that McLaren is just anther in the
   long line of useful idiots who dedicate their lives to obfuscating and
   denying it all.

   I don't doubt that they would do whatever they could to silence me,
   including harassment, chasing after my job, my family, even kill me if
   they could. Because that's what Marxists do--totalitarianism and
   suppression of dissent is at the heart of everything they believe,
   after all.

   It's just as interesting to note that McLaren & Co. vaguely recommend
   "scholarship" but don't bother naming any of it. Typical Marxist
   drivel: we don't have anything to actually show you to prove that all
   those eyewitnesses to gross atrocities by Che were liars. We merely
   want to tell you that if you read our "scholarship" you would know it
   never happened. Yeah, all those corpses? Just a big illusion created
   by the capitalist imperialists, man!

   You're as bad as a Nazi in my eyes, McLaren, as are all your Marxist
   apologist fellow travellers. I don't swear on the front page of this
   site, but only to evade some censorship software. But "f*** you,
   idiot" is the nicest thing I can think to say to you.

   And by the way, you're not a "brave dissenter." You're just a sad
   relic of a discredited philosophy. You should be ashamed. Not that I'd
   ever try to shut you down or harass you and your sick friends, because
   I actually believe in bourgeois values like free speech and free
   press. Values which Marxists implicitely and often explicitely reject.

   Anyway: I'm sure McLaren will continue with his deluded nonsense about
   how Marxism is all about peace and helping the oppressed against the
   oppressor and, oh yeah, America's the biggest force of evil in the
   world today. Whatever. I only take comfort knowing that this guy will
   die a warped, frustrated man waiting for a revolution that never
   comes.

   In the meantime, anyone who's actually interested in the truth about
   the murdering pig Che and his phoney "revolution" would do well to
   start with [3]The Killing Machine: Che Guevara, from Communist
   Firebrand to Capitalist Brand by Alvaro Vargas Llosa, or [4]Che
   Guevara's Dubious Legacy by John Suarez, or [5]Don't Applaud The
   Motorcycle Diaries by Paul Berman. And of course, [6]The Black Book of
   Communism for anyone who's genuinely interested in what Marxism has
   wrought whenever and wherever it's been put into practice.
