#1 "What happened to the revolution?"

Not much, Mr. Hayden & others of your ilk - you're still revolting.

#2 Wonder if Hayden stopped off in Cambodia. I'm sure his nostalgic views of Marxism would have been a big hit with the locals.

#3 Ex leftists - like me - come to a realization that corporations are inherently vulnerable. Schumpeter viewed them as prey in the: "creative destruction" process. Capitalism is the best engine of progress. Its the malevolence-benevolence thing that befuddles people's minds.

#7 To turn a quote (I believe from Churchill)..."If you are not a liberal in your twenties, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative in your forties, you have no mind"... IMHO that kiinda' sorta' says it all.

#8 Successful artists favour capitalism in practice but not in theory. For this they have their own special approach to reality. They accept capitalism's money and buy its products, but prefer not to be reminded that it's essential to the richness of their lives. They pretend, in fact, that they oppose it.

Doesn't this define hypocrisy? The dishonesty of the affluent and elite left.

The definition of craziness comes to mind with regards to Hayden, i.e. doing the same old things and expecting a different result. Why doesn't Hayden move to Cuba, Venezuela or some other leftish utopia. Please take your traitor ex wife with you.

#9 Successful artists favour capitalism in practice but not in theory.

So just use a different name, I suggest "Reality".

#10 Other People's Marxism seems to be the Liberal's Creed.

Typical Liberal NIMBYism
