Leszek Kolakowski

A man whose name I have heard, but did not know anything about until today.

This is a long read if you get the time. It's about Kolakowski and his career studying totalitarianism and communism.

I am reminded of Whittaker Chambers's confession that he had to replaced his faith in communism with faith in God. I am paraphrasing roughly.

Since I have not the ability to keep up with you guys during the week until school starts, I will bombard you on the weekend I hope.
