pacifica, left narrow banding

[Frank Scott]

"No one wants to have smaller rather than larger audiences, and expanding audiences for left-wing discourse is important (on which everyone agrees), but the question is *how* to go about it, and that's what the Pacifica struggle, for instnace, has been all about:"

would that it were so..quite a bit of the battle was and has been over expanding the audience or leaving it a small, focused, left wing-activist group...

of course, that puts things in the usual either-or bag which is part of the problem, but it remains a problem, and the notion of expanding the pacifica audience to include many who are not already members of the choir is still at the combat stage.
