>For once the city mob were on the right trail, when they petitioned for the release of Bar Abbas, rather than the supple singer of a 'Sweet bye and bye.' Bar Abbas is described in 'the Scriptures' as a petty thief. He was really an armed insurgent leader—the slayer of Roman tax-gatherers— a guerilla chief (like Rob Roy, Robin Hood, William Wallace, William Tell.) who levied toll upon opulent Hebrews, for patrotic purposes. Had I been there that day, I also would have joined in the demand:- 'Release Bar Abbas unto us.' -Better one Bar Abbas than a thousand Christs.
Holy based. Why don't marxoids write like this?

Marxoids don't write like this because their whole ideology tells them to avoid mythologizing. What the passage you included does is create a myth from the past for use as a guide in the present.

Obviously some Marxoids try to work around the anti-myth part of their framework, but on the whole they avoid it.
