Piers,

You, of all people, mention brain-washing yet you spout propaganda straight from the system that produced several of the worst police states in modern history. You advocate setting up a non-capitalist society but you deprecate peaceful election as the means. Although you have not stated how it is to be done, it would seem to me that, having rejected elections the only means left are war and terrorism. You also give the impression that you think that the Islamic terrorists would all lay down their arms if the west rejected capitalism. How naive.
