Landau on democracy

[Doug Henwood]

[Here's a comment from Saul Landau on a call for democracy at 
Pacifica. I guess he's a member of the "let's get all the smart 
people together on the Vineyard" crowd too.]

ROGER,
HOW CAN YOU HAVE DEMOCRACY BY LISTENERS. IF THE MAJORITY WERE TO RULE, WHAT
WOULD PREVENT JERRY FALWELL AND CO. FROM MOBILIZING THEIR FANATIC WARRIORS
TO SUBSCRIBE TO KPFK AND THEN WIN ADVISORY BOARD ELECTIONS AND CONTROL THE
STATION?

OR ARE YOU A PARTISAN OF ELECTIONS AFTER OUR RECENT EXPERIENCE?
