If you believed the optimistic discourse of the free market, though, you'd think that revolution were happening almost every day, with the marketing of every new product. One inevitable result of the triumph of the free market ideology is trivialization of the word revolution.
That said, it is true that revolution has disappeared as a desirable goal from much of the left-wing public discourse, except from the left edge of anarchism and socialism -- the very sort of organizers and activists to whom those who think of themselves as "sane and sensible" leftists tend to condescend.
One of the slogans we hear often today is, "Another World Is Possible." That's all well and good, but it unfortunately sounds a little Jesse-Jacksonian, as in, "Keep Hope Alive!" Inoffensive, but not the slogan that you would use if you were in fact on the offensive, as Reagan (and the social forces that he represented) really was.
Perhaps, I should urge Dr. Eugene Holland (Associate Professor of French Literature and Comparative Studies -- cf. <http://www.frit.ohio-state.edu/people/Holland1/>) to hurry up and finish his work-in-progress on "free market communism" ASAP. It seems there's a market niche for that on LBO-talk!
