On the heels of the bad news about Antioch, here’s some equally bad news about the NAACP.
There’s something to be said here about the decline of the radical left in the United States, and how much of that decline is due to the left being unable to change tactics, and how much of that decline is due to the general erosion of democracy in the US post 9/11, and maybe also something about the lack of viable alternatives to capitalism today, and while capitalism has proven to be much preferable to, say, forced communism, perhaps this lack of alternatives is also affecting resistance to the human and environmental explotations that are an inevitable result of capitalist enterprise and must be resisted, and resisted effectively, if we are to live in a just world. And how to resist effectively? How to resist effectively, that is the question. But I am not together enough to say it. Yet.
