Liberal, conservative - what's the fuckin' difference? - it is all but
good-cop-bad-cop ploy to deceive the public into thinking that electoral
politics (especially that in the us) matter. 

During the October Revolution - the Russians invented a simple yet
ingenuous test - they asked suspected counter-revolutionaries to show their
hands. If the hands showed that the suspect was pushing paper or selling
ideas for a living - they "let Comrade Mauser do the talking" without
caring too much what ideas he was pushing (FYI, Mauser was in 1917 Russia
what Smith & Wesson is in today's USA).  Were not these heroic times?
