Honestly Patrick you are so rude ... and blinkered. Your activist 
strategy is merely the pale imitation of the ruling class strategy. Oh 
for sure, you want to redirect 'restitution' in progressive directions, 
missing the point that the very demand is reactionary.

Last night I saw Joan Ruddock MP (and Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament 
spokesperson if I remember right) trying to put a progressive spin on 
the war on Afghanistan, along the lines that it should create 
women-friendly institutions in that country! There's no end to the 
willingness of ex-radicals to see positive potential in the capitalist 
state.
