[lbo-talk] Polls about "Iraq" and "Terrorism" Re: how's it feel?

I do not disagree with you altogether...but mortality and fear of death will be there with or without capitalism (they were there during the economic models preceeding capitalism) and I think that is what motivates people to seek refuge in the things capitalism best provides.

I hope more than 1 in 20 -- but my whole view of politics is, in a way,
grounded in that recognition, and on the principle that, in the
abstract, the "individual" has a perfect right to that tenuousness. I'm
really amazed that so many people who hate capitalism can't see the
damage that ordinary everyday life under capitalism does to people. And
hcnce that intelligent anti-capitalist political theory must be grounded
in accepting that fact and devising strategies and tactics to counter
it.
