He posted here years ago, but whatever happened to him? I have been around the internet for a long, long time, and he is still the most extreme -- yet intelligent -- Marxist I have ever met.

I thought someone spotted him somewhere or something.
Posting here before Imran (though I still hold that n.c was more a natural sparring partner for him than RT)"Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency
"That’s the future of the Democratic Party: providing Republicans with a number of cute (but not that bright) comfort women." - Adam Yoshida, Canada's gift to the world

hmm... that brings into mind another question-
how long ago did n.c. say goodbye, and where did he go- I seem to remember a departure thread, but can't quite place that in my memory.
DerSchwarzfalke-
I'm surprised you remember Red Trotskyte- I don't think I've ever seen him post- I think his last major postings predate even my registration date- and you registered about 2 years after me... How did you come to know him? Or were you merely perusing the archives?-->Visit CGN!

If you consider this my "Ben Kenobi" name it should give some insight into how I know him. I do not remember why I thought of the name -- maybe it was that thread about the most "harmful" literature of the past two centuries. Either way, I remember some of his ideas being pretty out there. He advocated the abolition of "he" and "she" in favor of some gender neutral third person pronoun, for instance.Visit The Frontier for all your geopolitical, historical, sci-fi, and fantasy forum gaming needs.

In the timeless memory of the Starchild, we remember the Red Trotskyite. Yes, we remember his arrival, his threads, his posts, and his depature. We remember his outline of a communist society and we remember when Imran was the poster child of the right wing here.
Yes, We remember....
....for in the timeless memory of the Starchild, all are one.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
-Richard Dawkins
