Roll over, Karl Marx. Wake up, Friedrich Engels. Nearly 150 years after The Communist Manifesto and 70 years after the Russian Revolution, free enterprise is coming back to the Soviet Union. Businesses ranging from mom-and-pop shoe repair to interior decoration are being legalized under a new "individual labor" law that takes effect this Friday -- which happens, ironically, to be the international socialist holiday May Day. The measure makes it possible for the first time since Lenin's New Economic Policy (NEP) of the 1920s for individuals to make money legally according to a decidedly un-Marxist principle: from...
...Karl Linnas is guilty, this is what he did. In the early 1940s, during the German occupation of his native Estonia, he was chief of a Nazi concentration camp in a place called Tartu. Twelve thousand East Europeans were executed there, including 2,000 Jews. Linnas ordered half-naked men, women and children transported to a ditch and gunned down.

Last May a federal appeals panel wrote, "The irony of Karl Linnas objecting to execution without due process is not lost on this court."

...countless imitations, parodies, cartoons and advertisements. But from the earliest days, in addition to the parasol and firearm, the beachcombers have also carried some heavy moral baggage. Rousseau considered Daniel Defoe's 1719 novel vital to the education of ambitious youth; Coleridge regarded Crusoe as the "universal representative"; and Karl Marx found the plot an illustration of basic economics...

While "Social Studies 10" treats both Adam Smith and Karl Marx, "Women's Studies 10" makes no pretense of an open mind. It advocates one narrow, often insipid. "approach," the feminist "approach." This "approach" wanders all the way from liberal feminism to socialist feminism to radical feminism. Other areas of the discipline--if it is a discipline and if it has other areas--are ignored...
