"Another World is Possible" is, IMHO, one of the best slogans we (the left) have produced. It isn't dorky at all. It's directly aimed at precisely the thing that stops people from spending energy on learning left ideas -- the TINA thesis.

The pedigree is also good -- the French general strike of 1968. Read Daniel Singer on that, if you doubt how cool that was. I like the French more now than ever, and the European left is, I think, probably the most likely source of major alteration in this creatively destructive system their masters launched 500 years ago... We non-Euros should encourage and link up with them.

What slogan would not be dorky, BTW? "Subvert the Contradictions"? "Workers of the World Unite"? "Death to Running-Dog Imperialists"?
