I should have known better.....


With the left-wing divided and bickering amongst itself trying to see who can sell the most newspapers, a mass of people who belong in the labor camp picked up guns instead. That shouldn't be surprising. The people who call themselves "revolutionary communists" and "socialists" must realize that they're not about to gather the "mass movement" they fantasize about by using words that the American public
equates with "scum-sucker." One can espouse communist or socialist ideas to many people in America today and gather strong support as long as you avoid the buzzwords they're programmed to dislike. Ranting about how we need a communist revolution or how only a "workers revolution" can fix our
problems only serves to turn people off or convert the already-converted. In a nation where only 11% of the people are unionized, it's going to take a bit more than a "worker's revolution" to set things straight, especially when these "revolutionary workers" can be replaced with cheap Mexican labor.

Excerpted from:

I promise: from now on, I'll watch my political phraseology! No more bolshie buzzwords! I'll smooth them out.... Example: Revolution?? Err... let's talk about 'social reshuffling' instead. Cyberanarchism?? How'bout 'lateral thinking'?
