mbs: Thumping protesters was not his style, for all his other pecadilloes.
>>>Your reasoning--that we should strike where elites enjoy their wealth,
rather than at the places where they exploit labor--is not very
convincing, Max. Trash a posh eatery, the owner collects on insurance,
nothing much changes. This is a difficult way to make the argument that
these guys shouldn't *have* the fruits of labor in the first place.

That's not my argument. It's that these places are focuses of privilege and unrequited riches. Wage labor is by definition exploited, so it wouldn't matter on that account which window you broke. Symbolically, these expense-account places say a lot more, IMO. You forget I'm not a marxist and I'm not on a crusade to socialize capital.
