After getting a post from kelley, it occurs to me that maybe my meaning didn't come across.
I originally wrote out a long response to Rakesh's post but then for some reason erased all of it as I often do and just left the one line, by which I meant that if Rakesh (or anyone on this list, for that matter) were suddenly to become absolute ruler of America, things would get a lot better very quickly. Of course, this is just fantasy, and a real dictatorship would surely be a nightmare, which leaves us no choice but to pursue a democratic movement based on solidarity of the working-class.
Is that better?
