I think many of the lefts take on the militias is a case of a 
romanticized overreaction concealing a valid point.   The valid
point being that if the we on the left were doing our job right,
some of these people would be turning to us and not the
militias.  I don't understand why it must be class OR gender.
Can't it be class AND race AND gender (and sexual preference, and
the environment) without subsumption?
