Why the Revolution needs a little elitism in it's blood

[jacobin]

The rEVOLution needs to be a little more elitist.

What is our goal? To win? To take back out country? Than we need to think like Karl Rove et al. It is about effective strategy not passive hope.

We need all of Peter Schiff's friends, Jim Rogers' friends etc.

We need the smartest people in our movement to be involved with Ron Paul Grassroots and other national groups to help direct the movement.

We need to join our opponents' groups (e.g. the CFR) and start building relationships with our political enemies to convince them that the Austrian Economists are correct.

I personally would of rather had RP2008 hire Karl Rove than Kent Snyder and Lew Moore. That is a bit of a joke, but with $25+ million they should of hired insiders in the GOP/RNC to be able to work behind the scenes.

It is SIMPLE -- the Socratic Law of Casuality -- if you do exactly what others have done to be successful (or take over the GOP, the State Dept and the world) than you too will achieve their same results.

Some people confuse the Freedom Movement with the Campaign, two related but distinctly different things.

Well, the thing is, the more people who looked up Ron Paul, the more who converted their way of thinking. If they were turned off of Ron Paul, then they were potentially turned off from the movement.

that's right.

as for the rest of you, you're just anti-elitites, which makes you that which you hate. therefor, since you are that which you hate, either change yourself or admit who you are and focus on liberals, socialists and stateists. thx.

also, the whole thing that got me started on this was reading how people want Denis Kucinicg at the march. we'd be doing a whole lot better if we didn't continualy associate with liberals. I mean, there's people who even want a Paul/Kucinich ticket. Even Ron Paul knows it's all or nothin, and he's the nicest guy in the world. You don't put lennon on a ticket with you, cause you end up with Stalin. And you don't say you fight for freedom, then invite slavers to your march.

i think rhys is projecting his own insecurities on "liberals" in this post.

my nomination for most portentous post of the month

actualy, i think you replied cause you look like a geek in your pic and feel like I was talking about you. You have over 5000 posts, all negative. I've been wanting to call you out on this forever. For the record, I'm a nerd/geek something.
