But still, this really illustrates the wishy-washyness of the left, and our ultimate attachment to capitalism and reluctance to take any action that might upset our still relatively cushy position in the global economy.

No, dude, it illustrates that some people on the left understand the realities of modern society, and others want to plunge the entire world's economy into freefall as some sort of example of their devotion to insane ideological purity.

e: I mean we're already seeing backlash against the Tea Party from everywhere that isn't the rabid right wing. Is that really your ideal model for a hypothetical left-wing party? Dogmatically ideological to the point where you alienate everyone that isn't already 100% on your side, dooming yourselves to become more and more irrelevant as popular opinion turns against you?

Look at all the people willing to stand by and do nothing while we subject our planet to an entirely avoidable yet devastating and irreversible catastrophe and let millions of children starve to death just so a small handful of people can have hundreds of of billions of dollars they could never spend itt

What are you doing to start the peoples' revolution, comrade?
