I just wanted to mention something here, i once asked
a U.S. diplomat why she wanted to be a diplomat since
U.S. foreign policy is generally very imperialist in
nature, i also asked her if there was any good that
she was doing with her job (you know working within
the system in order to change it kind of thing) and
she responded that she didn't know if anyone was
really doing any good in their job.

so this too is probably my last comment on the topic
as well, and i guess it can really be interpreted in
two ways. either she was doing something so integrated
into reproducing injustice and exploitation that she
should choose anther job; or you can look at it as
saying aren't we all just reproducing the same thing
no matter how radical, communist, working class,
etc... we are...
peace out,
-Sean
