Groundhog's Day

[Max Sawicky]

. . .  It's time to put those people who weren't on the streets (literally
or spiritually) on notice: you're not going to ape solidarity with us in
order to get a better bargaining position down the line. As one demonstrator
in Seattle told me: "Tell that Carl Pope and John Sweeney this: either
you're with us or get the fuck out of our way."--jsc

I feel for you and them, but nobody has remarked on the
dilemma of a movement that is not able to garner credit
for what it does, or whose efforts inherently lend
themselves to others gaining and using the leverage
they may create.

That's anarchism.  It's implied vacuum in collective
decision-making is readily filled by others, for good
or for ill.
