Hi Michael, Don't you think it is a mistake to take the capitalist class as homogeneous? Surely there is scope for a tactical alliance (with all the caution that that phrase implies) with the less insane elements of that class for important reforms like reining in the mad financiers and having a civilized level of health-care etc? That, to me, is the key item of contention in this thread. Purists like Louis may not like it, but I think this is a legitimate question. -raghu. -- Don't steal; thou'lt never thus be successful in business.
