This is too simple. Not _all_ the people with connections and loyalty to exploiting class interests are also leaders. Some of them prefer to go and drown in New Guinea for sport or act in their own porn movies or loll on beaches in private Mediterranean islands. Others prefer to be CEO of Chase Manhattan or Under Secretary of State for Latin American Affairs. Most of them (unfortunately for us) are pretty damn competent, though it's because of their connections that they get to exercise that competence. The trouble with moral criticism of our enemies is that it is incompatible with the fundamental principle of warfare (including class war): Know Your Enemy. Carrol
