I think comrade fkalosar's use of the term "mackerel-snapping" is a
deeply offensive anti-Catholic slur. In my opinion, it's not what
Marxists should be doing.
[As a working-class Catholic kid on scholarship to Yale many years
ago, that's where I first heard the term, coming from the privileged
mouths of the ruling-class assholes being groomed for leadership. It
was only one of many reasons why I abandoned Yale and the
scholarship after two years.]
