Now What?
Issue #13 (December 2000)
Throughout the interminable U.S. election mess, the various radical 
listserves I follow were pointedly quiet about the whole affair. But even 
without much discussion about the tussles within America's ruling class, 
there's been a sense in which we outside-the-system types have been on 
hold, waiting to see which of the two evils would prevail.

Now finally we can move on to pressing matters, like the tantalizing 
inauguration protests already being planned for January 20 in Washington, 
D.C. There's never been such a legitimation crisis in our lifetimes. Or 
such a sterling opportunity to show our disaffection with the many faces of 
plutocratic rule: the disenfranchisement of African-American voters in 
Florida; the role of big money in elections; the corporate domination of 
our political system; and the insult of having an idiotic twerp and serial 
executioner installed as president.

Meanwhile, activist preparations are well underway for "the next big 
thing," the Summit of the Americas meeting next April in Quebec City, where 
the heads of every state from Canada to Argentina (minus Cuba, of course) 
will gather to negotiate a free-trade agreement aptly called "NAFTA on 
steroids."
