It's more than that isn't it? I thought Yoshie considered any interest in
international reform was the royal road to revisionism.

Any good news is so dangerous it has to be discounted as the product of an
over-heated brain. 

The idea of actually mobilising the sympathies of tens of millions of young
people against the indebtedness of the poorest nations, and of raising
money for the UN is so good it can't be true. 

All the result of ecstasy tablets I suppose.
