there is plenty of nihilist Leftist critique out there also

especially from the dinosaur vertical Marxists who have a big problem with
the anarchic inspired bottom up processes common to these
anti-capialist/alter-globalization movements

in Europe there is a lot more big tent solidarity then on display in the
US...

too many old Marxists, who should just shut up and send food parcels,
instead whinge about discipline and have created a mini industry critiquing
the publications of the movements

the old, crusty, seedy Marxists, always say, "There is No Left in the USA".
Now its obviously not true, they say "There is no Real, Rigorous,
Dialectically Sophisticated, Disciplined Left in the USA"

can I just make a general swing at the keyboard intellectuals.

get of your arses and get down the places where people are gathering and get
involved in the process

its real easy to sit at home and read the amatuer, naive, often foolish
media that comes out of these media events and spectacles

even easier to type-up scathing nihilist critiques about the failure of the
Left, the faults of the young, the weakness of the institutions etc etc etc
etc etc

there is plenty of material, and its been done, too much

now is a time, to actually do something, and its time to be an organic
intellectual and participate in the messy, smelly,
noisy, uncomfortable realities of these kinds of democratic actions

soon enough it will dissipate, and you can go back to eating the shit
sandwhich of Amercian life

but today, and for the next few days, there is something happening worth
participating in

take your intellect, your knowledge, your experience and GO HELP
