 The Reporter’s evaluation of the report
;

We have evaluated and contemplated

that though Marxism is said to be an
evil ideology, it still has good things in it
and it makes sense in the way that no
one must be above anyone for we
believe that everyone is equal in the
eyes of nature for we are all human,

everyone’s platter” - SkyBlueTeam
