I don't see much of one right now - not in the intellectual sense, but the organizational. Where's the active and/or growing and/or dynamic revolutionary movement that the "fake left" is counterfeiting or co-opting?

No to all of them.

I think the in-touch-with-reality position is that there isn't much of a revolutionary movement right now. Do you disagree?
