  Never heard of any of these rags.  But if you think they have some importance, I’ll take your word for it. 

  But if the radical Leftist small press is in decline, the radical Leftist large press is also in decline: NYT, WaPo, LAT, not to mention CBS, NBC, and ABC.

  So, what does it all mean?  If nobody is willing to buy your message, how will you continue to distribute your message?

  Don’t do like your predecessors, Lenin and Stalin.  They robbed banks to finance revolutionary activities.  Not very moral of them, but then they did not claim morality anyway.  Just as you don’t.

  But you cannot steal your way to revolution as they did, and you can’t propagandize your way to revolution because no one is buying, and no one is going to elect you.

  So sad.  RIP.
