PATRICE GREANVILLE—The all-out demonisation of revolutionary leaders is an old habit that has become almost an industry in the capitalist West. The defamation of a leader about whom the masses are not just massively ignorant but aggressively disinformed is a devious shortcut to the demonisation of a nation and its threatening system, in this case communism, the direct antidote to capitalism, threatening, that is, to the class interests of the bourgeois elites that control the West.

JARED BALL—Wakanda Forever is its own hopeful title. Forever are we to see our ambitions for a better world in a Wakandan fantasy, one, as Lawrence Grandpre suggests, is based not on culture, or I would add political organization, but on the random divine act of a meteor delivering a plant, and one based on quiet isolation, and ultimate service of empire.

DMITRI ORLOV—The Cuban Missile Crisis is a malicious misnomer. Cuba never had any nuclear missiles; it temporarily played host to some Soviet ones. The crisis started when Americans put their intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Turkey that posed a new threat the Soviet Union, which responded by placing similar missiles in Cuba, evening the score. The Americans flew into a rage but eventually calmed down and withdrew their missiles from Turkey. The Soviets withdrew their missiles from Cuba and the crisis was over. And so it should be called the American Missile Crisis.
