 | This is an essay by Harrystein. It contains personal opinions or rhetoric written by one or more Leftypedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it a policy or guideline written by Leftypedia. |
If you are not the author of this piece, you can credit the author with the author parameter. Inputting:
