Enlightened resistance would be better, of course.  Ice cream would
also help.   But at this point one just wants resistance -- however
crippled by the assumption (!!) that capitalism is a conspiracy of
greedy bastards against the rest of us.

IMHO, there are many, many things that cripple resistance (people are
too busy making ends meet, the odds of making a significant short-term
difference in one's livelihood appears long to most people, etc. --
but the lack of a radical, full-fledge Marxist consciousness is way
down my list.  If we are waiting for that consciousness to spark
(un-cripple) resistance, then we better sit down comfortably and order
a Trenta cafe au lait.
