I see two problems here: One, the "left" is trying to uphold a worthy principle in a fundamentally unprincipled society while refusing to participate in the making of a revolution against that society, the result of which might make standing up for that principle a less absurd endeavor. Two, with all due respect, I think participation in the so-called "mass anti-Nazi movement" is a waste of time, a sort of plausible denial for "white" folks: keep the attention on a minority of goons who represent no significant political or idealogical tendency in this country while the real problem, run of the mill "white" folks, escape the spotlight. My point is not that the skinheads and Nazis are not worth paying attention to or that they are not a problem, only that "white" folks use them as an excuse to evade their own whitenesss.
"Now finally, many among the LBO group are arguing that those who stood and fought gallantly against chattel slavery were either wrong or misguided, or at best wasted their efforts. (Providing podiums for Nazis is noble, but expropriating slaveowners at gunpoint isn't? This is negation of the negation with a vengeance.) No wonder there is such pessimism here about the prospects for revolution.
Alas, what else should one expect from "white" leftist?
