Sorry, but I find this a bit facile. There is a tremendous entrenched power that knows very well how to wage class warfare and it has been doing so quite effectively. To say that "nothing" is needed, save the left get out of its own way, ignores the immense work to be done to convince, for example, the vast majority of Americans, that socialism does not mean Soviet-style rule.
