Yes, but in your reply to Doug's transparently sarcastic remark on
Candaian innocence, you seem to be taking Doug as an ardent defender of US
foreign policy...
Doug's displeasure, if I'm reading it correctly, is with the idea that
wishing any working class any kind of economic decline is not a very left
position, since that decline can be as much (if not more) the foundation
for non-left 'alternatives' to the present state of affairs. Why not
address yourself to that argument, since it is the main argument Doug
is making.
