Thanks for this Antonio. The difference between the liberal left and the radical left is going to become more and more important as we get into this century.

I also appreciate the way your looking for the revolutionary hope in a figure like Greta rather than focussing on all the ways her celebrity is flawed. I feel moved by the possibility that she and the generation she has been plucked in front of are really connecting with the reality of this situation.

It will be interesting to see if Ms. Greta will be the 'One' as the western world certainly needs someone like her to rally around. The bigger question will be, will the older generations let her live long enough to make a difference? Young people like her have a way of encountering resistance from powerful sources with money enough to buy "solutions'.
