1) the fact that the NYT published this article -- which refers to workers as "wealth creators" -- means *something* even if it's only UMC folks like me (and Carrol) who read it; it reflects popular disgust with the current incarnation of capitalism. 2) no article automatically promotes quietism. The meaning of any article is at partly in the eye of the beholder. In fact, a rabble-rousing article using all the Correct Maoist rhetoric and phrases like "it won't fall unless you push it" can easily be disheartening (not to mention boring), encouraging quietism despite its intentions.
