You don't understand: the tempolates of 1917 or 1967
can be applied
directly, without modification, to the present. It has
to be that
way. If you've been looking abroad for revolution for
your whole
political career, you just can't admit to yourself,
much less others,
that there are no revolutionary forces out there
today. Well, there's
Chavez, but that's nonviolent, so a lot less exciting.

just observe what various American political factions
are saying about it, and deduce the situation on the
ground from that. That should be much more accurate!
