Indeed Steve, good points. However, to paraphrase Steinbeck, socialism never catch-on in America, because the serfs see themselves as embryonic technological billionaires. The class war is over, the green serfs got their asses kicked, the techno-oligarchs for South African won. Our misogyny and racism will keep us kissing oligarchic asses. The Good News is that the planet will only last a couple more generations.
