“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Too often it's hard to dislike this man, even though we know he's a self-proclaimed Marxist.
I suppose that makes him far more dangerous than the sour faced, harsh, faultfinding, grim, surly sternly condemning old guard "Reds" from whom most sane American felt an instinctive recoil back when America was still America.
He's rationale. The old guard "Reds" are not. They still defend socialist governments no matter how badly they govern or profit their people (ala Venezuela).
