Marxism For Dummies 12

The thorns-in-sides are various which mar incumbents’ slumber. Could Belgium bear Lumumba? Would Britain brook Makarios? There’s Bolsheviks or Mensheviks, Parnell or De Valera: Marat had Robespierre, or the Romans, Vercingetorix. There’s Che Guevara, Spartakists, the Mau Mau, Mata Hari, the Contras, Carbonari, Hamas, Harmonious Fists. The song that stops the show? “It Ain’t Necessarily So”.

I am doing this again and hopefully better. I wish that fundamentalists, capitalists, pro- and anti freedom fighters, conquerorso, world leaders..... everyone would say: “It Ain’t Necessarily So”.
