The funny thing is, on odd-numbered days he'll tell us there's no way to
know which current struggles have the most political potential, a statement
with which I fully agree. How he reconciles the two sentiments, I have no
idea.
I took exception to shag's earlier "important/matters" statements to weed out this kind of absolutism (which I don't think shag buys, but it sounded like it). It amuses me that Carrol buys right into it, especially in light of his many seemingly contradictory statements.
For all I know, in 200 years historians of leftism may look back and conclude that it would have been far more effective for us to tackle, say, the abolition of the Security Council than all the stuff we did instead. Anyone who claims they know for sure has moved out of the realm of serious politics into crystal-ball territory.
