(I'm limiting keyboard input until the tennis elbow that has plagued me for months is finally gone, hence the taciturnity of the following.)
They must keep on doing the same thing they would be doing when movement is flourishing, because there is no predicting when movements will flourish, and they won't flourish unless people keep trying even when failure is guaranteed. No '60s without the work of the CP, NAACP, a few other groups in the '40s, 50s, and early '60s. The more activists who stick to it (and stay away from the DP) during such (usually long) interims, the more quickly a punctuation will grow and the stronger it will be.
