Question for Liza about Palestinian SolidarityActivism at OSU

[Max B. Sawicky]

Yours and some of Chuck0's subsequently is a legitimate
line of criticism.  When a cadre group operates
in such a way as to stifle debate in some other ostensibly
public organization, even though it plays within the rules,
I think that is fair game.  But that isn't what Chuck0 was
going on about initially.  He was criticizing them for being
ubiquitous and effective at 'control'.  That is not principled
criticism.  It is empty and plays to the Right.

If I win a million adherents who are ready to commit suicide
bombings for me (i.e., at a Michael Bolton concert), you
can criticize me for what they agree to do, or if I won their
allegiance thru foul methods (i.e., mass mind control), but
not for the mere fact of allegiance or coordination.  That
would be either hypocritical or just stupid.  Hypocritical if
your own envisioned movement would come to the same thing, or
stupid if you disavowed any interest in a coordinated mass
movement.

To Max's "so what" I'll respond with my experience at the one instance where
I was personally present . . .
