Racism, hatred, the endless litany of charges true and false, the furious rejection of capitalism, the damnation of the centuries long explosion upon the world of European civilization, all these things remain.
The bad advice has gone out of sight to evade the laughter and fury of a world pretty thoroughly disabused.
But the ludicrous, even malevolent utopianism is still there, really, just beneath the surface.
In power - in sole, unchallengable power - they would be as horrific as ever, as soon as possible, I have no doubt.
Still very good reading, though.
Good practice in French or Spanish, say.

Las Venas Abiertas de America Latina.
And those who have come in from the cold in Latin America and elsewhere, who have decided to live within the limitations of legality and democratic mass politics, can do much good despite their hates and their delusions.
