So the 'pseudo activists in Seattle, Prague, Davos, Genoa in July are wasting their time as the WTO still exists? Funny - I thought I saw them being battered by the starship troopers while Paul was in his internet watchtower. Pauls demands are similar to those of the UK Socialist Party (the original one formed in the 1880s, not that which emerged when the Militant Tendency left the Labour Party). Theuy argue that as we should be against the money system, there is no point in supporting strikers as they are for reformist demands like higher wages. No point in voting as that is for a bourgeois dictatorship. They regard the reforms gained through struggle as worthless. This leads to political paralysis - sometimes a very comfortable existence for those who don't want to get their hands dirty in real agency.
