i'm sorry
With all due respect:
Electro Robot...but you cannot say that America has a "Left" with a straight face can you??
My god, none of your major candidates can even get behind single payer health care for pete's sake!
Look, I like Obama, I find Clinton fine in my more generous moments...but I don't for a second think they represent anything like a "Left" (at least internationally speaking...hell Canada's Right Wing government is further Left than the American Democrats - they at least support government run healthcare)
(You can make the argument that within the discrete model of American politics then yes, the Dems represent the Left...but that is solely because somebody has to be on one side of the spectrum...but the American shifting Centre has swung so far to the Right that any comparisons to Emma Goldman is sheer fantasy)
cheers
