Right. It makes no difference. Please explain to me the relationship between this and the socialist future you expect to be voted in some day.

Back in 1969 Jan & I and some others put out a leaflet with the headline, "Raise the Political Cost of the War." Some small-boy jackasses interpreted that as smashing some State Farm windows to raise the expenses of State Farm.

Most of the time you ar busy explaining how powerful capitalism is and how weak the left is. And suddenly now you are seeing a little difficulty in holding a meeting as a presaging the collapse of capitalism. Make up you mind.
