Man, is that ever hopeless Maoism. Someone once told me the story of walking around NYC with a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party. They passed a drunk comatose in the gutter, and the RCPers said, "There's your revolutionary vanugard!" If 2 million people behind bars and several hundred thousand homeless urban alcoholics are the revolutionary core, we're going to have Bushes and Clintons forever.
