   Now look, Selene, you know perfectly well that revolutionary intellectuals   
   are - unlike anyone else - *allowed* to say, do and insinuate whatever the   
   hell they like because they are *always* right. You don't get the People's   
   Republic of China by not thinking you're right in any and all situations.
