<< Tony, I agree completely that the capitalist system must go, lets get

lot of good, even if capitalism remains strong for some time, although we
should, and probably must, be working to weaken the system even as we fight
for changes within it.
My argument with you is your all or nothing attitude, which I see as self
defeating. Why not work towards making a better world now, this may mean
collaboration with social dems, and (gasp!) even liberals. And yes I do
agree that many gains won will be attacked immediately under our current
system. However at the same time we will be building a bigger, more
effective mass movement that will be essential if our goal is to get rid of
this rotten system.

Thank you, Aaron. I struggled with trying to formulate an answer this
succinct, and finally gave up. This is exactly what I was striving for.
