I am the returning ex-author of fuckyeahtrotsky & fuckyeahlenin.

We have wasted history like a bunch of drunks shooting dice back in the men's crapper of the local bar. I'm ashamed to be a member of the human race but I don't want to add any more to that shame, I want to scrape a little of it off.
