For a long time Bob was big time defender of Uncle Joe, as were all Maoists. The Party line has changed, I guess.

I'll have to go dig out my copy to double check, but I think so. As I recall, he was also quite distressed about the economic reforms in China, accusing the current (at the time of the book) leadership of the PRC of betraying Maoism.

At any rate, his main thesis in the book was that the only reason Communism failed every time it was tried was because no one had done it right, and Communist states had always been undermined by their ideological enemies, both internal and external.

I assume you mean the 1964 Act. No I am not suggesting that, although it's redundant given the 14th Amendment, and Title 2 is wrongheaded. At the time it was needed as the courts weren't consistently abiding the 14th and arguably needed better guidance. The 1964 act has however subsequently been misused.

How about repealing (amending) those portions of the Constitution that seek to "force" equality then? I suppose we could be talking past each other on this, but it seems as if equality isn't something that comes naturally until push comes to shove (usually literally) and someone puts through a law that forces it. What magic is now available that we suddenly can get away without forcing it?
