At least this one understood the point. Reply Peter says: January 22, 2015 at 11:31 am Not alone. Reply crf says: January 22, 2015 at 11:57 am what does NFK or NFX at the end of the letter stand for? Reply Derek Pearce says: January 22, 2015 at 12:09 pm I love the “NFK” at the end, which I assume must stand for Not For Knopf. I want to start peppering my conversations with NFK only I’ll use my initial. “I don’t like this soup, it’s NFD.” Reply Al in Cranbrook says: January 23, 2015 at 12:15 am It was required reading when I was in Junior High. Definitely recommend it. Dispels a lot of stupid/ignorant romanticism regarding communism. Reply Leave a Reply Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
