I do think there is a progressive left, a fairly substantial one, actually. But it has disconnected from the mainstream and/or co-opted by the center for so long, we don't know how to get back in the game in any meaningful way. I think the reason for this is because our side is losing badly, and particularly with the forces of globalisation, there doesn't seem to be anything in sight to beat that monster. Curious, isn't it?

BTW, I wasn't suggesting that all anti-globalisation activists were anarchists by any stretch of the imagination. I was really referring to (and should have said) groups like the Black Bloc and Ya Basta (I'm seeing in black and white today, apparently!).

It also wasn't very accurate of me to refer to them as anti-globalisation. Probably more accurate to describe them as anti-capitalist and anti-liberal.
