: Now - will the Left see sanity, and drop their conservatism, or bravely forgo their erroneous beliefs, and join the 21st century? It's either that, or rot in the 19th (along with Marx, Engels, et. al.)

The left has seen Sanity and you arent it. Even the likes of Tory Blair who's really bought into the "American Dream" (what's that you can get elected, claim a huge salary and change as little as possible while establishing brilliant links for a possible future career in the city/stock exchange) big time likes to admit it's only the global nature of capitalism that makes the current action necessary.

You seem to assume your the future, if that where the case why are conservatives the world over still scare mongering about the pheonix like qualities of socialism?

"I coinsidered it my most sacred duty to fight oppression regardless of the author or the victim" - Bakunin

Now that is Socialism in a nutshell and it sounds pretty timeless to me.

We have a saying here, Our day will come.
