What really separates the real 'radicals', or true critics of the corporate system in the US and the wider West, isn't opposition to the datardly and evil, dumb, Republicans/Conservatives; that's way too comfortable and easy, like shooting fish in a barrel. It's whether one applies the same vigor and critical focus on the Democrats as well. One can have a nice and profitabl career, way over on the left, as long as one doesn't reject both of them, the Republicans, and the Democrats. Call them two cheeks of the same arse, the two rightwings of the same ruling corporate party... then you're going beyond the pale and beyond one's pay grade.
