[lbo-talk] Wisconsin recall results

[Carrol Cox]

You and I have our rather sharp differences, but we both know that 
saying we should organize this that or the other thing is cheap. And 
most of the comments on organizing on this list from the beginning have 
been from people who have never organized so much as a cub scout picnic. 
Every so often I give an abrupt answer to some such fatuity: Go out and 
organize a new group to push it in your community, and when you have 
some success, go to some other communities and urge them, offering your 
assistance. I'm increasingly pissed off at anyone who says 'we' or "the 
left' should do anything unless they are active in the leadership of 
some local activist group. I am getting tired of Bleacher Bums.
