Oh Dear!

The Kudos Kid has finally came up with the names of a couple of so-called Woke/Marxists....Herbert Marcuse, dead for over 40 years and Saul Alinsky dead for over 50 years. Nowhere in their bio's does it mention that they were Woke/Marxists. According to the forums number one "cooker" one bloke was "apparently a mentor of Hillary Clinton", APPARENTLY! Now if you want to find a radical left wing Marxist, just point the finger at Hillary Clinton. Then its all relative, is it not, there are those who believe Adolf Hitler was a bleeding heart liberal who went soft on the Jews.

p/s Woke Marxism must be a Jewish thing, the two so-calls named were both Jews, and according to the "expert" one was gay as well, that's a big minus. Oh dear, I can see where this guy comes from.

There is no organised group of Woke/Marxists in the world, this "cooker" just believes there is.

Yes "Miss Lube Rack" Nancy Pellosi and "Miss Scorned" Hillary Clinton are probably closer to death than to birth, too, at this point, but both are extremely influential in the anecdotally Woke Marxist, Democrat Party.

And look who's influential in the Republican Party.

He's racist. He's homophobic.He's xenophobic. And he's
sexist. He's the perfect Republican candidate. And he's
chosen colleagues who don't dare not to support him.
He knows nothing and thinks he knows everything. That
clearly pointed to a political career.

I think it appropriate to end this discussion with
the poem that I began sometime ago. It's dedicated
to my grandma who was a white Russian:

Here goes:

Russia a nation soulful and deep
Writers like Dostoevsky made people weep
Tolstoy wrote about War and Peace
His Anna Karenina was hard to resist

Rudolph Nureyev's leaps were entrancing
Mikhail Barysnikov made a name dancing
Kirov and Bolshoi set ballet standards
Which Margot Fonteyn also demanded

It wasn't vodka that made Russians sing
But the rapid strumming of balalaika strings
Stirring up songs tenderly expressed
What couldn't in life be fully addressed

Cossack dancers led the way
Joyously demonstrating their ebullient display
The Volga Boatmen was a popular choice
Kalinka, Katyuska, were given a voice

And who can forget - otschi tsherniye - dark eyes
With which Ivan Rebroff melodically surprised
The Red Army was known to terrorize
As a touring world choir they harmonized

The dark side of this nation
Is its penal colony aberration
An arctic inferno frozen and brutal
With thoughts of escape being totally futile

Where millions of bodies lie side by side
Crimes the authorities try to hide
Alexei Navalny's widow weeps
As she tries in his name justice to seek

A lady brave who had to flee
To try to fulfill her destiny
The prisons and psych wards and abominable nooks
Solzenitsyn exposed in his famous book

The Gulag Archipelago became well known
Showing the world Russia's terror zone
Autocrats like Putin will someday depart
Hopefully, his replacement will have a heart

And, like Gorbachev, he shall try to reform
An authoritarian political system hard to transform
Russia's an enigma that will need to dig deep
To wake up from the slumber of its comatose sleep

It will need to shed chains embedded in fear
And admit state control is far too severe
Only then can Russia stand up and proclaim
That centuries of abuse were not suffered in vain

cont'd :

Centuries of dreams of hopes and tears
Have been hiding in Russia's soul for years
All tied and tangled in one layer
Of burning hope wrapped in a prayer

All the while that Russia's been burning
Its people for life have continued yearning
One day soon they will stand up and see
That it's up to them to decide to be free.

Kudos Kid,

"(Pellosi, Clinton) probably closer to death than to birth" like several old fellas on here Pellosi is an octogenarian and as you say "closer to death", Clinton at 76 is a spring chicken compared to a couple of the forum Old Farts. They'll love for that one sunshine!
