Brad Meyer, Yoshie, Carrol and Co. do not seem to be concerned with the material conditions of any kind. All they want is a "radical change" but the kilobytes of verbiage they have posted to this site do not contain any discernible clue as to what exactly that change will constitute of and how it will be implemented.

These folks can be more appropriately characterized as "millenaries" waiting for the big R to come - just as their nutty Christian brethren are waiting for the Armageddon, the Rapture, the second coming, or the end of it all. That may explain why they are more pissed at the secular liberals than fundamentalist right wingers with whom they share the same nutty vision of history as eschatology, they merely disagree about the number of the beast.
