But Anderson doesn't just point out the logical contradictions and pass on--he recognizes that, as he puts it "[g]reat mass movements are not to be judged by tight logical standards." He does say that the protests in their timing, performance, rhetoric, etc., are beholden to some assumptions that in the long term such a movement should question. In particular, those that leave the five victorious powers after WW2 with unquestioned international political authority--ie to "justify" the war (which most people even in the anti-war movement assent to if the UN gives the go ahead). That seems to me certainly worth saying, especially if you want a movement that isn't one-dimensional and dissolves after the war is won, under whatever auspices.
