I know that's supposed to be funny and all, not requiring a reply, 
but I cannot but think that the very fact that it is not just futile 
but laughable to even dream of "the victory of the proletariat" and 
"the demise of U.S. imperialism" makes barbarism -- of fundamentalist 
terrorists as well as of U.S. imperialists -- inevitable today, with 
US leftists reduced to an impotent cry of "I hate both Bush and 
Saddam!" while the Empire prepares its bombers and troops, with or 
without the blessing of the "civilized world."
