Really? Did the A20 event get any coverage outside of Washington, DC? Any articles in Newsweek or Time?

A20 was an encouraging turnout of solidarity during a hostile time, but it was far from a big victory.

And, Jack, it's not *one* movement anyway. Stop lumping different movements into the same one. I know that you left sectarians want one big movement, so you can "lead" it, but you guys don't understand how out of touch with contemporary activism you are.

"...ironically, perhaps, the best organised dissenters in the world today are anarchists, who are busily undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is still trying to form committees."
