The unfortunate truth here is that America's liberals just don't get it as they patiently wait in hopes of this dead cadaver being revived again, singing of hope and faith. The tragedy of many American intellectuals is their total denial of the existence of a fierce class struggle in America which ruthlessly crushes the majority at the bottom and rewards the tiny minority at the top. Even in the unlikely case the decrepit system is resuscitated and brought back to life, how many times are we willing to see livelihood squeezed out of its victims in the course of its cyclical crises as they lose their jobs, savings, rights and dignity? How can we remain content with such a monstrous infrastructure and claim any degree of care for humanity? How can we be so indifferent to the violence perpetuated by the capitalist ruling classes against the masses in their millions? A better world is definitely possible - one that values people over profits!
