Hardly. The only person I've purged recently is the intensely annoying Jim Jaszewski.

To quote a great inclusionist, there he goes again. The sweatshop kids and the unions, just to take one example, are each energizing the other - it's a wonderful synergy. I don't see why you have to go looking for contradictions where none exist. Unproductive, divisive, destructive contradictions, I mean. It's like that whole tedious identity/class division.

Which presumes you know which will be which in advance. You sound like some financial theorist imparting perfect foreknowledge to The Markets.
