What a bogus opposition. There's no reason one can agitate during an election season, and have a nonelectoral focus at other times. Ideologue, deconstruct thyself!

Yes, and the other missing item is historical materialism. That there's a left at all in this society, which is administered by the strongest, richest, and most successful ruling class in human history, is testimony to the power of the human mind and spirit. Yet, from listening to Leninist voluntarists like Carrol and Yoshie, you'd think it was all just a matter of thinking clearly and being "active."
