Your argument is a good analysis in order to show to certain Anarchists, Blanquist and Leninist groups that there is not need for the so called revolutionary...
Hi cokbuyukadam ... It wouldn't take much to "throw a punch" at capitalism, and it wouldn't take money either. The working class far outnumber the capitalist...
