34. The greater enemy
Republicans are far worse than Democrats and neocons are far worse than neoliberals. Short of revolution our only chance is to root out the greater evil first and then work on the next most evil. When in world history has any nation or the international order NOT been ruled by "the establishment" or by elites? Its a constant struggle and we must know our enemies.

I can't disagree with the main thrust of your argument, though. I agree the people have to take back our country and make intl institutions serve people first, not corporations. My main point was to refute the post's impression that neoliberals are the exact same thing as neocons, but in the Dem party.
