First of all, professional-class workers don't own and operate the Fortune 500
and certainly don't set the priorities of the System. Second of all, the System
isn't the US Government -- it's the world-market of capital, a.k.a. the total
system, a.k.a. multinational capitalism. It's a faceless, bodiless set of social
abstractions, very difficult to grapple with, analyze or combat, despite its
horrific effects on human beings.

The Long March goes through the corporate databanks as well as the streets.
