Cocaine induced schizo-psycopath is tendencies. He was a psycopath no doubt, but all the Coke binges in the final days induced delirium and psychosis, along with bolstering his psycopathy

I'm sorry you're not prepared for a high level of discourse.

Class praxes are the praxis of the working class. All organisations that are based on proletarian mobilisation become closer or more distant from the practices, the thinking doing of the working class. As a single leader cult Jones' ministry became isolated from the common sense of the US working class and went up its own bumhole.

I'm not fluent in Marxist, nor do I desire to be.

You're going to have problems with the discipline of history.

Not really, I'm pretty sure most great historians (including those working in the field right now) have never felt the need or desire the usually pretentious drivel like "class praxis" to explain or justify their arguments.

I think it's more absurd that you think every historian is a Marxist, or that they need to be in order to be credible in your eyes.

>Dear Comrade Timofeyev,
>The following is a letter of instructions regarding all of our assets that we want to leave to the Communist Party of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Enclosed in this letter are letters which instruct the banks to send the cashiers checks to you. I am doing this on behalf of Peoples Temple because we, as communists, want our money to be of benefit for help to oppressed peoples all over the world, or in any way that your decision-making body sees fit.
>The letters included listed accounts with balances totaling in excess of $7.3 million to be transferred to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union

>Found near Marceline Jones' body was a typewritten note, dated November 18, 1978, signed by Marceline Jones and witnessed by Annie Moore and Maria Katsaris, stating:
>I, Marceline Jones, leave all bank assets in my name to the Communist Party of the USSR. The above bank accounts are located in the Bank of Nova Scotia in Nassau, Bahamas. Please be sure that these assets do get to the USSR. I especially request that none of these are allowed to get into the hands of my adopted daughter, Suzanne Jones Cartmell. For anyone who finds this letter, please honor this request as it is most important to myself and my husband James W. Jones.

The fuck.
