Re: Stalin is not Marx

Like the Spanish Inquisition is the inevitable outcome of Christianity?

I hold no brief for Marx, but he was a nice old geezer and would not have approved of Stalin any more than St Paul would have rooted for Torquemada.

Though as our resident Calvinist, you have to admit that that was completely inevitable ...
