ABSTRACT
Revolutionary Marxism has lost its hold on the young since the breakup of the Soviet Union. But it has survived among small groups of irreconcilables whose rant combines the old themes of anti-imperialism, antiAmericanism and anti-capitalism as a justification and a glorification of violence. There are plenty of problems in the world and many sources of discontent. Fanatics insist on giving to these problems old answers, which have been proved wrong over and over again.
