A Sawant Supporter Defends the Bolshevik Terror
Ah, but in fact I don’t believe you’re that dim [email protected] writing about posts on TA. which means you are simply being dishonest. Trotskyite is not a self-description it is the derogative term, preferred incidentally by Stalin and friends. You really shouldn’t be calling anyone[...]

Changing my mind about position 9, Seattle City Council.
Bill Bradburd if you squint hard, Sawant disappears. Perhaps from where you are. But where I am the blare is pretty hard to ignore. Her slogans make it very hard to “hear” what others have to say. The vote this Tuesday in District 3 will, sadly, be based on reactions to her politic[...]
