      Aptitude is only discovered by doing, and most people don’t do a violence. So who knows how many savants are out there.

        Who knows! But I do reject the claim that you can’t be a leftist unless you engage in political violence.

        This is a very old controversy in Marxist circles, and it has been known to result in people getting shot. Make of that what you will.

          As a Redneck who pulls most of his ideology from pre Marxism labor movements I propose we have those who do not fight smuggle, craft, feed, and heal.
