>one could equally likely predict more of a backlash.
You know, anything leftists do, be they black or white or whatever, will face a backlash. The more effective you are, the more backlash you must expect. Neoliberalsim is a form of backlash against the wage squeeze, wildcat strikes, expansion of the public sector & transfer payments, etc. during the late 60s & 70s. The wars on drugs & crimes are likewise a backlash against the breakdown of law & order (riots, radical movements, etc.) in the late 60s & 70s. If you are really effective & bring about a revolution, expect military attacks as a backlash.

The criticism above includes me but doesn't exclude the Brown students who "censored" Horowitz, unless Dennis has changed his mind by now & come to a paradoxical conclusion that while he disagrees with me but approves of the action taken by the Brown student activists.
