This is a great article, Kruptos. And it's needed. Social progressivism is a safe outlet for directing activist energy into a crusade that doesn't threaten the money power interests who control the Left parties in the West. It is a tool of the bourgeoisie and not of the lumpenproletariat who are often the foot soldiers of the front.
