There is no organized left, because we have been unwilling or unable to cultivate bizarre millionaires to fund our activities. We need a few R.M.Scaifes before we will see an equivalent of the American Family Council, Christian Coalition, or other such group.
Any ideas on how to bring millionaires into a decidedly anti-wealth left? Not me either. Could it be that we would have to develop a rhetoric of populism as opposed to class struggle? Any takers? Or is populism not truly Left?
