[lbo-talk] Tea Party

[brad]

I continue to believe, as I have since about 1967, that
radicals should stop paying so much attention to the far right. It
wasn't the far right that gave us the Wr on Drugs, the War on Crime, and
the Effective Death Penalty and Anti-Terrorism Act.

But doesn't the far right pull, or more cynically give cover for, the
liberals to do the nasty stuff?  Wouldn't a strong left movement pull,
or give cover, for the DP to move the other way?

I am still having a hard time understanding how you think social
change occurs.  Does the state not play a role at all?   Or is its
only role a negative one?
