I dare say, however, that there is lack of self-examination among most critics of WW/IAC/ANSWER, not just Corns and Coopers, but also those who "genuinely share our hatred of capitalism." For instance, it is "they" and "their organizations," rather than "we" and "our organizations," that you are criticizing above, no? If we are really interested in overtaking and surpassing the mobilization capacity of WW/IAC/ANSWER, though, the question to be asked concerns not what "they" lack but _what "we" lack but "they" possess_:
(1) Contact information about committed anti-imperialist organizers in possession of useful phone trees/mailing lists who are scattered nationwide, who don't necessarily belong to "our organizations," but who are nonetheless ready to work their assess off getting buses and caravans of activists to major demonstrations that "our organizations" call, putting down their own money, rather than us paying them.
(2) Skills to collect further contact information of more organizers and activists at each new demonstration.
(3) Capacity to plan ahead, so as to be able to announce the next action at each demonstration. -- Yoshie
