Sorry, "fit" was overly snarky, as you put it. And I was paying an oblique compliment to party politics (the irony of citing Stalin after JPod's joke earlier was, perhaps, lame). I wanted to indicate that I understand the role of the party, and find it good in the necessary-evil kind of way. I wanted to also point out that party discipline ought to be able to be set aside in certain times and places.
Also, small point: I wasn't indicating that I was taking my marbles and going home. Just that I can't post on this blog all day.
