If a theory does not work in practice, it is a failed theory. Statements such as "communism works in theory, but not in practice" or "its not the religion, its the people" are completely meaningless.
Now here we have invertebrates protesting, the theory being the backbone. All of them are against the bailout but most proposed solutions are less than adequate.
In france, many advocate the nationalization of the banks. In iceland, they advocate the reformation of the government. In New York, they advocate more rights for the worker.
Many have come to the conclusion that capitalism has failed, but if you look at the amount of government intervention in the last, well, ever, you would realize that capitalism had never actually been given any room to breath.
Everybody has lost faith in their state, but instead of coming up with new methods to deal, they revive the debate on how one should bring on a proletarian revolution. Luxemburg and Lenin are at it again.
In economics, The Chicago School has died with Friedman and the Austrian School is the last remaining refuge for those who still advocate economic freedom.
I fear that, once again, tomorrow will be disappointing and end up looking like yesterday. And I wonder, how many times must we fail in order to get something right?
Our time may be now, but we are the minority. We must not give in, not this time.
