The russo-chinese row is likely to demonstrate that the stylised abuse long hurled at capitalists can easily be adapted for inter-fraternal warfare. i have not seen any reports so far of the use of 'jackal' or 'hyena'; but the chinese are apparently calling mr khrushchev a 'swine' and a 'bald-headed ass'. it seems to throw doubt on their claim to be the guardians of orthodoxy, this criticising him for a hairlessness he shares with lenin.
