I don't recall anyone having a problem with your idea of the right being the only place revolution will come out of. I don't think any of the posters critical of your comments have even mentioned it. It was this paragraph, with which you started your post that raised hackles.
"There is no way for Adnoto or anyone else to adequately answer questions like "what would you do specifically? What would you recommend others do specifically?" Any response offered will not have enough specificity to satisfy the questioner. As we've already seen. It's a gambit. A game. Not meant to be either productive or serious. It's meant solely to quash the notion of an uprising -- that is to say, an uprising from the left."
Now, agree that that's bullshit and we can talk about your right wing revolution till the cows come home. But you came to Adnoto's defense when he was criticized for producing no ideas with a defense for being idea-less; really this is insulting to people who actually are out there trying to organize or to move forward their platforms. No one in Palestine would ever respond like that, they would try to convince you even if you were a Zionist.
