[lbo-talk] Kos on Marches

[Max Sawicky]

Kos is a fine fellow, but he has become a campaign consultant and media
entrepreneur, and their business is to figure out how to manipulate
public opinion.  He has never been an organizer, as far as I know.  He
has built a novel, fine media empire.  The key phrase from him is "media
savvy."  It's perfectly reasonable and pragmatic as a way to deal with
two-party system electoral campaigns.  Media savvy is surely better than
media stupidity.

 

But all of that is utterly divorced from what is involved in building a
radical movement that puts forward new ideas and that engages and
changes hearts and minds.  That's not his business.

CB: Isn't Kos down on all mass marches as obsolete, mean nothing ? Isn't

Millions More March a mass march and obsolete and meaningless ? MMM
sounds

like a bunch of people  marching in the street with no media impact.
