Long live the redactionists!

Hello comrades.
We have much in common; look at my blog – an appropriate socialist red – just like yours.


I am a trifle disappointed that the comments per above are closed as soon as they were open: sadly I was not quick enough to lodge any salient comments.
Indeed – your wonderful censors redacted the original comments: even though it is an improvement on the airbrushing of Uncle Joe’s era – it still strikes me as inelegant.
It took me ages [one minute] to find your email address. Why not openly publish it?
You could airbrush / redact comments that are inimical to the interest of the communist clique.
I am confident that your comments on the conference could have rivalled Comrade Castro’s 10 hour speeches.
But it worries me that the enemies of the proletariat will think that freedom of speech of our comrades are a mere sop to what Lenin unkindly called USEFUL IDIOTS!
You have to anticipate this, comrade – and defend our noble NKVD.

That evokes a disparate idea....

Those were the times, comrades. No one would have dared to implicitly criticise you for writing about a conference that will not be till FEBRUARY! Why – even Kosygin / Brezhnev would have airbrushed implied critics from this world.

Now you have to put up with people not even bothering to read your redactions. Castro would have reasonably pointed out that all responses should have been published – and he would have made sure that they were appropriate.
I guess your resources are limited.
Sigh!
UP THE WORKERS – LONG LIVE THE PROLETARIAT!!
