[lbo-talk] leftwing hate

[B.]

As with the "crossing AFL-CIO picket lines" issue, I'm
with Lacny as opposed to Chuck0 on this one, too. A
lack of right-wing counter-protestors does not mean we
[the left] are more powerful than we think. The right
has little reason to mobilize protest; they're at the
helm of power. And like Lacny said, their
counter-demonstrators are actually at a lot of
protests, i.e. the police forces, if not the FBI or
military in addition to them.

the ruling class, 
but I'm going to stick to my point that the absence of

counter-demonstrators should give us the green light
to get out in the 
streets more. The Left is way too good at
disempowering ourselves with 
these myths about our own repression. I think we have
to talk about this 
differently, to fire up our troops."
