The globe poll ran, what, 91-9 in favour of 'not in our lifetime'... Too bad they didn't break it down like this, something tells me the international socialist option was not heavily voted :)
I have been tending toward Apocalyptic Optimism, ie 'this must change, some mysterious way, because if it doesn't then ALL EARTHLINGS WILL DIE.' But as usual this is an attitude not an analysis.
And, really, though I'm not pimping for any of the Group B stuff, I AM an idiot, as became clear after reading a couple I. F. Stones. What the fuck do I know what's going on 'over there'? I'm like a Latvian pulling for Quebec separation because I read some Leo Panitch.
I just know terror when I see it, and tend not to like it.
