==============================
True enough about ruling class motives. That's what gives rise to the
internal tensions between the movements and the Democratic leadership. It
depends on whether or not you think it's worthwhile to intervene to help
organize and shape anti-establishment sentiment. But no use going back and
forth on this. We understand each other's POV full well, and we'll have to
see whether events sort things out.
