The Russian Revolution: It's Soooo Over

Unlike his namesake Anatoly, fighter ace Michael Baranov was never renounced as a Trot

It's like Hatton or Galloway all over again. But in the old country. MoscowTimes.com reports the hapless or devious webmaster Anatoly Baranov being renounced for deviating from the one true path:

Baranov called himself a "neo-Trotskyist," but said it was a term used ironically by young Communist activists. He charged that pro-Kremlin forces were trying to make the party look silly.

So, it's the Communists versus the Kremlin. And within the communists it's their McDonnellites versus their Compassites. Or something like that. Funnily enough Young Compassites ARE being ribbed as 'Trots' and 'Trotty' and told their careers are 'so over' by Mainstream Young Labour/Labour Students. Allegedly.

First they came for Baranov ... then they came for Young Compass ... and when they came for Labour Bloggers there was no one left to speak out. Can't risk it. Hands off Tavarish Baranov!

MEANWHILE: By 2020 most of the Russian Proletariat will have joined the petty Bourgeousie.
