Are we leftist because we want to sneer at those who lacked the educational environment to learn of leftism in the first place? Or, are we leftist because we want to join hands with other workers to displace those that call themselves our masters?
Well… If it’s the latter, can you think of a better comrade to link arms with, what better weapon is there to aim than a weapon forged by their own hand?
