In the prisons?
Man, is that ever hopeless Maoism. Someone once told me the story of
walking around NYC with a member of the Revolutionary Communist
Party. They passed a drunk comatose in the gutter, and the RCPers
said, “There’s your revolutionary vanugard!” If 2 million people
behind bars and several hundred thousand homeless urban alcoholics
are the revolutionary core, we’re going to have Bushes and Clintons
forever.
