The World Socialism Movement

>From what I've read so far of your agenda, Simon, I say more power to you.  
I certainly share your concerns in being suspicious of would-be 
revolutionary activity that puts all its focus on cultivating an elite 
vanguard.  This top-down approach is self-defeating and merely subsitutes 
one oligarchy for another.  What is needed is to cultivate a pervasive 
change of consciousness that can foster a sustainable bottom-up 
transformation of society.
