QUEBEC CRACKPOTS

[Max Sawicky]

. . .
In retrospect, it's an interesting thought exercise to figure out what
would have happened if the current crop of anti-capitalists activists
had planned the resistance. Perhaps a clash with the cops at Andrews Air
Force base several weeks after the war started? Sabotage of military
hardware? Destruction of recruiting offices?

For an anti-war movement with veterans from the 1960s, they sure forgot
what happened back then.

Hey Chuckles, I haven't forgotten, and the fact is none
of that shit mattered.  What mattered was SDS (and later
YSA, CP-USA, etc.) mobilizing
college students, SNCC/SCLC mobilizing African-Americans,
nascent movements of GI's, trade unionists starting to
get into the act.  I don't think illegal acts impressed
anyone, except for mass civil disobedience and draft
resistance.

The best example of what
you're fantasizing about was the Days of Rage/Weatherpeople
thang in Chicago, and that probably hurt more than helped.
