Blogroll addition

MikeH at Behind The Parapet is another history blogger. He has a pretty interesting post about Khrushchev's "We will bury you" statement:
Some six years later, 24 Aug. 1963, Khrushchev remarked during his speech in Yugoslavia, "I once said 'We will bury you,' and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you." This statement is understood to be a reference to the Marxist saying, "The proletariat is the undertaker of capitalism." (Proletariat: the social class who does unskilled manual labor)
He then segues into Nicholas vs. Lenin and Trotsky vs. Stalin and today's American proletariat.

Smart stuff that'll make you think.
