Re: UE meeting and comment




On my way home I couldn't stop thinking about Dolan. I can't see how a
radical movement, one aimed at worker self-emancipation could ever be
led by such a person. Perhaps others can enlighten me on his good
qualities, but I was very much unimpressed.

Of course, the 1960s anti-war movement threw up people like (East Coast) Jerry Rubin of the Yippies, who was also a total self-promoter and over-simplifier. Somehow we had an effect anyway. The point is to not worry too much about the leaders but to instead focus on building the mass movement.
