Because we will get shot. No seriously, the left is in danger in this country. Not by just the State, but by vigilante groups if we to mobilize on higher level. If we were to be the root cause of any disruption based on our rhetoric, we could expect repression.

Many left wing groups opt for entryism or single issue activism.

At first, I was attracted to Ron Paul because of this speech, but later I learned of his answers. They are not beneficial solutions.

Why are we not addressing these issues to the public as well as him? What can we do to inform the people of more favorable methods to resolving these problems?

Ron Paul may be addressing those issues but he is far from mainstream. He was a minor candidate in the Republican primary for President. I don't think his message is getting out to many more people than Chomsky's messages are. I'm not really sure about what can be done. I don't see much potential for a radical leftist version of the Tea Party or for someone to left of Kucinich.

Ron Paul is a Right Wing Extremist, and a Racist. He claims to be "libertarian," yet is so far from the people's interests, he may actually be considered a Fascist (he is very easy to "see through")

He may be that, but he's addressing issues that affect us and more practically than we are doing.

Some insane right winger said "capitalism = anarchy/liberty" and we let him.

It is not the role of pro-revolutionaries to be politicians or missionaries.

Talk to your co-workers about actual ways to improve their conditions, but for the love of everything that is decent, don't try to convert people or talk to them about your ideology.

You ever wonder why people slam the door in the faces of Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons?
