[lbo-talk] Anti-War Movement -- Retrospect and Prospect

[Carrol Cox]

We did well. Two years ago had someone predicted an antiwar movement
this large and this widereaching I would would have rhought we had
fallen down the rabbit hole.

There were still too many flags, too many support the troops banners,
but that, I think, came from the very success of the movement: we had
reached  people who needed some contact with the world they had lived in
and were (without out knowing it) leaving. In other words, those flags
and banners were mostly a (legitimate and needed) security blanket for
those who were carrying them.

How do we build on this?
