[lbo-talk] Bush as Diversion

[Charles Brown]

Carrol :
For over a century every single promising mass movement of the left
(both those that took mostly non-electoral form and those that tried to
incorporate electoral work) have been absorbed and destroyed by the DP.

^^^
CB:  The Civil Rights movement succeeded in ending Jim Crow, and the Peace
movement helped end the Viet Nam war. In that sense they were not destroyed.
I wouldn't say they were exactly absorbed either. I don't see where the
women's movement has been absorbed.

What are other promising mass movements of the last 50 years ?
