I don't want to speak on Woj's behalf, but his point is dead accurate -- the Dems are the party of Goldman Sachs, the Rethugs are the party of Halliburton, Obama's first term is as America's Gorbachev, and his second term will be as America's Yeltsin, etc.

As for the US-based resistance -- it has to be transnational. It has to target the enemy: neoliberalism, a.k. the rule of the plutocrats (there are 11 million of them on the planet, they own $42.7 trillion of wealth). And it has to reinvent a post-imperial democracy, on every level of American society, from the digital commons to the developmental state.
