It's deja vu all over again: the clenched fist logo, the inflated rhetoric, and the good intentions. I am dubious about how much gravitas this effort has. The civil rights movement provided moral elevation and disciplined leadership to the anti-war and student movements. A lot of organizational skill came from people with trade union experience.
A major driving force was the massive casualties suffered and inflicted by the war in Vietnam. 50,000 American soldiers and countless Vietnamese. And the draft, which made that war much more real at home than today's wars which are fought by a professional army.
BUT we have intractable unemployment of 9% - and a political opposition whose austerity strategy is bound to worsen the situation if they take Congress and the White House. So one can only hope that something comes of this left-populist effort for jobs and debt relief - even if immaturity is now its face. - GWC
