In 1934 the small Russian fascist movement based in the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo declared Joseph Stalin to be a “concubine of American capitalists and Jews.”

Many thanks to all at Archelaus for the joy your cards have brought! I do hope you have had a happy St. Valentine’s Day. If this day has not brought you much gladness, then I hope you at least manage to have a tolerable Half-Price Candy Day.

May American capitalism be good to you. (No comment about concubines.)
