    People keep saying this, but Fred Hampton wasn't born in fuckin' Antarctica.

      Yeah and we already live in the world in which they assassinated him. Assange should be pardoned, but his fate either way doesn't change our circumstances in regards of what they will do to the leftist project and future Lenins and Hamptons.

        No, I agree his fate is immaterial in that regard. All I was attempting to point out is that it's clearly not impossible for a revolutionary figure like Lenin to come from the U.S., an opinion I see floated regularly.

        It may be impossible for them to survive to accomplish much, but there's nothing keeping them from existing in the first place.
