E.g. the world social forums, the various EU Green and Left parties, the
Workers Party in Brazil, the Chavez movement in Venezuela, the trade
unions in South Korea - lots of very interesting things happening. In a
way, my question is really the same as Kelley's question - how can the US
Left sustain collective institutions, as opposed to one-shot campaigns
built on star personalities?
