"for a long time history is made without them" Re: Terror Inc.

[Peter K.]

The extent of abridgement of civil rights & liberties _alone_, to say
nothing of the scope of military adventurism on the part of the US
government (_even_ if _no_ Afghan had died due to the war), would
warrant a general strike or something like that as a response from US
leftists (if "the Left" had existed here).

However, what Frantz Fanon said of the French Left during the
Algerian War applies to US leftists in the last several decades: "for
a long time history is made without them."

Was that said before or after '68 when the French government
was almost brought down by the left?
