I have always felt, just for myself, that rebellion and rejection - on whatever level you can manage it, is the only logical response for me and how I feel. If I cannot change the world, theleast I can do is reject it and refuse to allow things which are done to be done in my name. Any political leader elected under the present capitalist system is going to stand for things which are directly ideological opposite to what I believe, the best I can ever hope for in any election is "the lesser of two evils" - it isnt about blaming my own failings or the problems in my life on someone such as a primeminister - at the end of the day the person in charge is really not as important as a system, any president of America or leader of any western European nation will stand for the same things, capitalism, hand in hand with the social capitalist state - and the logic of exploitation and competition, the repression of co-operation and community.
From my perspective, I prefer Kerry to Bush because I believe Kerry is more competent and less tainted... if Bush or Kerry is elected I will reject them though, because they stand for all the things which I do not. Terrorism is symptom of global capitalism - you can never truly quash violence with greater applications of violence - world revolution is the path to universal peace and understanding.
