Yes. I really don't like the general attacks on "the people." They seem
to me utterly pointless self-indulgences. The only two interesting facts
from the anti-war movement is this one, one-quarter of the population is
a potential constituency, a fantastically large number, and the huge
expansion of the circle of relationships leftists have achieved. To
summarize:
1. Far more people are with us than we would ever have guessed before.
2. We know far more of them personally than we did before.
What's to be cynical or depressed about? We did know that the u.s. ruling class were cirminals, did we not? We did know that on the whole "bourgeois democracy" favors the ruling class, did we not?
Why aall the whining? Some leftists seem to rediscover capitalism as often as the u.s. loses its innocence.
