Too bad all those old Reds in the CPUSA, who organized tenants in NYC, blacks in the south, and industrial workers in the midwest, and arranged for legal defense of people fighting oppressions, weren't around to learn this piece of wisdom from you. Or the Trots who organized TDU and Labor Notes, more recently. They were so deluded, weren't they?
