Some years ago I posted selections from an old Socialist Revolution article on how lerner 'ran' the movement up in Seattle. The article focused on his arrogance and sexism. I think I posted it on the occasion of his lecturing the nascent anti-war movement how it should proceed.

He as an article (1969 or 70 I think) in Science and Society proving philosophically that revolution is possible and good and necessary. My first encounter with him was a pompous speech he gave to rump SDS convention after RYM & Weather walked out. Later when he was starting NAM, I remember talking about it with some visitors from San Diego (acquaintances from the GI movement); one of them remarked that it would be easy to isoalte Lerner so his presence was not in itself a negative! He apparently has a real talent for pissing people off in the first 10 minutes of his acquaintance.
