Quoted from a commentary: "Overcoming the fears associated with seizing 
power will be one of the biggest obstacles for the American Left to 
overcome."

However, the next paragraph begins: "In America, this means capturing 
the State by electoral means. In a liberal democracy where basic human 
rights are protected and access to the ballot is universal, there is no 
motivation for armed struggle."

The author must have written this before the 2000 election, in which the 
universal ballot boiled down to nine Court justices. But it makes for a 
soothing read the morning after mass violence in Baltimore.
