Gorbachov is also a leftist .

Hello , Ugri !

It is a long time since you puzzled me with a Finnish sentence to translate . May I hope to puzzle you in return with a little English sentence now ?

You write : "When we speak about leftists, we speak about the followers of Karl Marx."

Now Gorbachov is definitely also a follower of Karl Marx ( and of Lenin ) . But somehow he doesn't seem to fit well either into the line of argument of the article or the worldview behind it that that condemns the Left as such , does he ? How will you explain that ?
