Doug's and Marvin's positions are not necessarily incompatible. They aren't a movement _at all_ by themselves -- as Doug says. But if the conditons for some sort of mass rightist movement ("fascist"?)arose, such fragments would be among the material of that movement. For the present, however, I think entirely too much attention is being paid them.
