While we are stuck in the current "money game" the new society will be unachievable.

This is true. Unfortunately, most people are too ignorant, lazy, and greedy to do anything about it. I think this is why "communist" governments seem to end up being totalitarian. They get fed up with waiting for the masses to wake up, so they decide to force the changes. But, of course, the people who are in charge get into that position in part because they are seekers of power. They end up acting like their predecessors, just with different words. But the result is the same: control other people and get rich.

I disagree that supporting one viewpoint over another is pointless. It may feed the greed heads, but so does everything else. We can't just stop living, buying food, paying the mortgage, paying taxes, driving cars, etc. Given that I can't change my fellow citizens into socialists, I will fight the smaller fights: civil rights, reproductive rights, anti-war, and some corporate/banking regulations instead of none.

Obama has proven himself to be a war hawk, but he's still 100% better on that score than any Republican is allowed to be. I wish he would evolve faster, but at least he's doing it, unlike the return-to-a-past-that-never-really-existed Republicans, who want to put gay people, women, and blacks back in the closet/kitchen/ghetto. And they seem proud of it! Why aren't they worried about what the history books will say about them? Lester Maddox and George Wallace are not remembered as American heroes who fought to save the country.
