I love Noam, may not always agree with him, but definitely respect him.

I really respect the way he appreciates the nuance of activism, civil disobedience, protest and so forth. Today's left seems adamant on taking to the streets and waving placards for any and all issues that somehow upset them without really giving any thought to the possible consequences of their actions, or sometimes without much thought/focus about what it really is they are protesting against (I admit I've been partially liable to this in the past).
It's probably peoples desire to be a part of a positive movement in society, but without proper thought and understanding, the issues being contested fall into a oversimplified 'us vs them' mentality.

Neither have had any real worthwhile outcome. Clearly the Totalitarian Capitalists use both for their own benefit.
IMHO self reliance is the key.
