A *chance*? It's *already corrupt by definition: do you undeerstand what is required to organize and run a political (read: Organized Crime) party?
But I think the big difference between the Wikileaks Party and other, more traditional parties, is that the WLP is focused on more than just grabbing power. The whole organization is about speaking truth to power, destroying secrets, informing the populace, and holding those in power accountable. That a little different than most others.
Where have I heard that before I wonder? Whigs? Republicans? Democrats (Obama as recently as 2008 even)?
Of course that could all be hyperbole just like Obama's promises of change but we don't know yet. While I agree that a cryptoanarchist poses a bigger threat to the power structure than a political party does, could this not be a good forward step?
It *could*. But I doubt it. //Alif -- Those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent revolution inevitable. An American Spring is coming: one way or another.
