Apropos of nothing really, but I say it once or twice a year to give people something to ignore...

If I cared enough to wear a label it would be socialist, but when the pitch is littered with words like bourgeoisie and proletariat and repeated references to Trostsky and Lenin and Marx, Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin, et al, y'all are never going to get through to enough people to matter.

Translate socialism into the language of people who aren't yet true-believers, and you'll get a lot more true believers.
