re: #526 obdicut

You either don’t know what de rigeur means, or you do have an incredibly deranged view of the ‘political and cultural left’.

I’m sorry - maybe someone slipped me acid, but I seem to recall seeing quite a bit of Mao iconography in the last election, and Che shirts seem fairly common on leftist punks, Che portraits in BHO campaign field offices, etc. Mao is quoted freely and approvingly in bizarre contexts..

But perhaps you’re right - maybe I’m just ignorant of the meaning of the term.
