This material is just great; keep it up.  If L. Ron Hubbard had started 
out as a Marxist instead of a pulp sci-fi writer, Scientology would have 
sounded a lot like this.  

You will enjoy great success recruiting timid souls ripe for an 
authoritarian grouplet that offers the smirking pleasures of quick-and-easy 
intellectual superiority ... plus *instant* status in the revolutionary 
vanguard ... all in exchange for a few hours of work learning "the club's" 
power-jargon.  

Hey, but at least no one will think you are dumb.  That seems to be a matter
of some little anxiety for the Syracusians.  The ability to write long 
sentences is, of course, proof that you are the smartest kid in the class 
-- and in this case, a most erudite Marxist, too.  And we mustn't let 
anyone doubt that for a second, right?

If only Lenin were alive to see this.  He'd never stop throwing up.
