5. this is where I part with both Chomsky and Hedges

aside from it not being clear who exactly he is talking about...

whatever you think of the Liberal elite, they're on our side. It does little good to attack them with the same venom that the right wing elite do. If they are not effective or are not making progress, then we need to back them up and push them harder, not tear them down.

Destroying our own leaders does not a strong movement make.

personally I believe they are not as effective as Hedges and Chomsky would like to see, not for lack of conviction or passion, but because of the overwhelming power and strength of the entrenched and powerful forces arrayed against them.
