Whether the ban on the tedious 'Relax' was merited or not is another matter, but one rock musician who told me that the action was Stalinist was perhaps unfairly maligning the Soviet Union, where sex rears its head in the unlikeliest places. In ''It Ain't Necessarily So'' from Porgy and Bess, the line ''Little David was small but oh my'' was once translated as ''Little David was impotent''. Oh my!

Yeah, he was kind of right when he described as stalinist, but to be honest id prefer the same old capitalist scaremongering.

The Soviet Union, having degenerated into an experiment into state capitalism, thrived on suppression of all basic rights as all other cappie countries do.

Why is it considered generally acceptable to wear that hammer & sickle flag but not the swastika which has an ancient history and sacred significance?

Communism is boring fascism. At least racial fascism has some excitement in it. Not that i'm advocating either of them.
