What evidence do you have that a "large number of lefties" buy into Churchill's thoughts? Have you done some kind of instant poll? You are starting to sound like Hitchens and the other sellout Lefties who are helping out our class enemies on the right and in the neoliberal establishment.
Churchill's thought about the black bloc and the inability of the pacifists to stop the sanctions are right on target. However, I disagree with him that the pacifist viewpoint dominates the anti-glob movement. That may have been the case after Seattle, but the pacifists have been pretty marginalized by the movement these days. At least the violent ones that attack other protestors.
