Yeah, but what about these people disrupting the town hall forums on health
care? I know it's not fascism, but this type of hooliganism sponsored by a
section of the ruling class is of concern and shows the lengths they are
willing to go to defend their privileges. And what about that "Brooks Brothers
Brigade" from 2000? I guess I missed that one. I think these are the issues
and events of the day that need to be addressed as much as esotoric theoretical
and historical topics. So, let's talk about their demogogy and not that of
political opponents on the left.
