Wow-- what a compliment.
One of the best pamphlets critizing global inequality and neoliberal
economics was a Jehovah's Witness pamphlet. Until the last page or so with
the "seek God" payoff, it could have been produced by one of our leftwing
outfits, if they had the skill. It was atttractive, accessible and had a
print run of something like 25 million copies worldwide.
We could learn a lot from the Jehovah Witnesses. And they sure do the door
knocking I think the left should do more of.
