Honorable Barrister,

I did not read the article you provided by Mr. Service. Instead I made an assumption. All scientific inquiry begins with one so I just made the necessary leap from science to Marx. After all;
Science was for Marx a historically dynamic, revolutionary force. However great the joy with which he welcomed a new discovery in some theoretical science whose practical application perhaps it was as yet quite impossible to envisage, he experienced quite another kind of joy when the discovery involved immediate revolutionary changes in industry, and in historical development in general.

Thus any article on the nostalgia of the Left for communism isn't such a great leap forward.
Allow me to point out that Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist roots go very deep into the rich earth of the Motherland. Like the Armillaria ostoyae, or Honey Mushroom whose use of tentacles, called rhizomorphs to spread and become the largest living organism on Earth communism will always have the same rhizome archetecture. It's allure is straight from "The Sultan's of Swing" .... "Money for Nothing" and the chicks for free....
