I think carp has a point.. after all, people like James Donald will do
everything in their power to crush strikes against companies in their
"capitalist utopia" they try to set up after the revolution.  They will
claim that their capitalist enclave was perfect until these "communists"
(read: pissed-off workers) came along, and try to kill them. The workers
would need to defend themselves, and I am sure they would get some of our
help.
