They're objectively our enemies, y'know: rightwing, racist, crazy ... If they're running around free, they're likely to have any of us in their gunsights or harassing anyone they don't like with bogus paperwork -- which, BTW, is not a joke -- it can be a gigantic and expensive PITA

Don't jumble things together. Try to frickin focus. The progressive beat-back of the trusts at the end of the nineteenth century was a triumph of actual organizing, in which people-power beat enormous wealth. Reining-in Wall Steet is doable IMO, but such fights aren't won by emotional intensity or shouting: they're won by actually putting people in motion -- and noisy internet posting doesn't do that: what's required is a lot of actual conversations in the real world
