Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best explanation. You cannot understand Vladimir Putin and his war against Ukraine unless you understand that he is a Marxist-Leninist.

      I said it more as respect for the level of rigor on Hexbear than anything.

      This guy writes like shit but is a Ph.D. and "leading historian". Fuck me.

          Not necessarily. I didn't mean it like that. I don't think a Ph.D. means you are intelligent, but it should reflect some skill and it always creates greater job access. It's a class difference. This guy went through various levels of higher education and writes like crap but can still land a job writing and keep it, in part due to having a Ph.D. and in part due to anti-Communist grift, while there are some posters here who aren't at the same educational level and might have some working class job but write excellent mini-disserations on radical history on the regular totally without financial benefit. That's what I meant.
