: I mean; we have a few people here with zero real and effective power getting ready to jump down each others' throats because of their own precise interpretation of Marx.

I've been arguing that since jump street and was smeared with the "liberal" label like cream cheese on a bagel (however, calling me a "liberal" hurts about as much as giving me a good massage). It is ridiculous to engage in a purer-than-thou contest when a common enemy exists -- international, corporate capitalism and the tyranny of the wealthy elite.
Of course, once the ICC&TWE is overthrown, the purity war can rage anew; as with jello, there's always room for a new enemy.
You make a lot of sense, Farinata (unlike the fainthearted liberal scumbag, Gideon).
