4. Kicked and recommended with one quibble, I believe the author's view
of the protests in Wisconsin is too narrow and short term.



The social counterrevolution will not be defeated by mere protests. As last February’s events in Wisconsin proved, the protests of the working class could not reverse the policies of the state government.



Wisconsin was a watershed moment, the momentum has shifted and it was only the beginning of the awakening here in the U.S.

I suspect the protests will grow in number, scope and impact across the nation and politicians standing in the way of this rebirth will pay heavy a political price.

Thanks for the thread, blindpig.
