The world social forum, as well as various far left spinoffs (see for example 
http://www.nadir.org/nadir/initiativ/agp/space/hubesf.htm), would seem to 
epitomize much of the behavior that both Eduard Prugovecki and Warren Wagar 
relegate to the land of dreams and hopes.  The left has constructed quite a 
dense communications structure on the web, putting aside the email lists many 
of us are on that are probably the main way many local activists communicate 
with each other at this point.  this is a global process--check out the list of 
chapters at indymedia.org.  I suppose it is a lot messier than many 
utopographers might hope for, but if one is actively concerned about changing 
the world, they are what we have.  As Fidel Castro once commented, "it is not 
for revolutionaries to sit in the doorways of their houses waiting for the 
corpse of imperialism to pass by. The role of Job doesn't suit a revolutionary.
