'Prince, I can hear the trumpet of Germinal,
The tumbrils toiling up the terrible way;
Even to-day your royal head may fall,
I think I will not hang myself to-day'.

I am unashamedly leftist but very few other leftists would recognise me as such.
Which is exactly as it always has been and always will be.
