I do not wish to deprive "eldorra" of the right to righteous indignation. And, yes, Spivak is heavy slogging. But I suspect the criticism would make better sense if its language were more judiciously applied. On this very day when U.S. scud-missiles and British nuclear sub-marines have just been deployed, I'd say there are more issues to get adamant about than Spivak's opaque writing. Let's get a sense of proportions and may common sense prevail.
