Maps and territories is an interesting new blog. Each entry features a map or a fragment of one and some commentary. Definitely worth a look (via Davos Newbies ).
Josh Cherniss has published the results of his top Marxists poll. I’m going to resist the temptation to sat anything about the accompanying commentary except to recommend, as an antidote, the essays on Lenin and Trotsky that feature in Alasdair Macintyre’s Against the Self-Images of the Age.
