Yes. But you never run into Stalinists at parties. At least not serious Stalinists over the age of twenty-five, and not the interesting type of parties. If I did, I guess I'd try to convince them not to be so statist, but the issue's never come up."
Well I guess the author lives in a wrong country. I've ran into many, if not Stalinists, then certainly Marxists and Leninists in my life.
