"The left is as poorly funded as the right, at least for most of the people who get out and demonstrate. The great difference is that people on the right tend to be individualist, while people on the left tend to be collectivist. Collectivists tend to work well together, and to make large sacrifices for their chosen goals. Anarchists tend to pool their property, even to the point of donating half of their income (usually from minimum wage jobs) to the cause"

Which is what makes them better funded than the right. They're busy donating to the temple of their chosen pseudo religion, while the right is busy donating to their church, providing for their families and attending community functions.

"On the other hand, individualists don't work well together. Organizing people on the right is like herding cats. Only when a fundamental liberty like the right to keep and bear arms is threatened will they react, and only enough so that the present threat is dealt with."

I know. Do you have any idea how hard it was to get the "Real" seal milk campaign going? Those meetings of the Northeastern Dairy Coop were more like exercizes in tinfoil hat paranoia than the "war rooms" they should have been.

Thank Heaven that SOMETIMES we can all gather together as a unified front and fight for a cause.

I was in the face - literally - of some parasite yesterday. He was contributing nothing beyond his presence. He was there on mommy and daddy's nickel.
