What "left" are you talking about? Eugene V. Debs? Paul Robeson? Maybe its
Abby Hoffman. I think I did once heard Abby say that the left in the US had
to learn how to fuck up the Pentagon and agitate successfully for the
expansion of low-paid textile operative jobs. But it was Guatemala, not
Bengal, I'm pretty sure.
