You are saying that there hasn't been any substantive discussion on what should be done? Perhaps this is the only email list you have been on, but there has been an extensive discussion within various movements about what should be done. This discussion has taken places on various email lists, bulletin boards, conferences, forums, and in many newspapers, magazines and zines.
For example, there has been alot of talk in the past few years about violence and nonviolence in the movement. This was a widespread discussion and has been well-documented.

"...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."
