this sure seems like a "two wrongs make a right" fallacy. The banks
are destructive, so let's destroy them. Forgive me if I see that
perspective as infantile nonsense.

But the questions should instead be: (1) what kind of alternative
economic system would avoid the kind of destruction that capitalist
banks impose? and (2) how can we create a mass movement to make sure
that capitalism is replaced by this alternative?
