[lbo-talk] More on BB antics and their defenders

Charles: In the short run, the dozens of urban riots in the 60's won some
reforms in the War on Poverty and Great Society. In the long run, it
motivated the Nixon Southern Strategy and the Reaganites, who have
come to dominate the US polity; and they r steadily reversing the 60's
reforms and even the 30's reforms."

[WS:] An excellent point.  The best you can expect from riots is to
secure yourself or your allies a permanent place at the table,
Failing to do so will see any gain short lived.
