It's always interesting to screw around on Lefty newssites for awhile. Not so much because of what they're saying; I know in advance the stream of anti-corporation stuff that will be published.

What's interesting is how it all fits together into this massive world of corporate control and conspiracy theories. A friend said to me last night, 'Why don't the Leftists read Leftist political theory anymore?' Doesn't seem they do: all their theories about the world comes down to the US government looking for a profit. Or Bush specifically. Gone are the days of intricate class relationships; it all boils down to oil profits, or trying to redeem Enron stock. It's pretty reductionist; at least Che and friends said there were many ways workers were being controlled and exploited. Now it's all profits. Yawn.
