It's Worth Remembering That In 1965, Something

Let's Look At Two Things Real Quickly: The Civil Rights Movement In Mississippi In The Sixties And The Arab Spring Starting In Tunisia And Cairo. What They Had In Common Was People Who Were Told, And Who Believed Inside Themselves, That They Were A Certain Way, And The Society At Large Believed It.

In Cairo, These Young Men Hanging Around In The Street, We're Told These Guys Are Lazy, They're Uneducated, They Don't Care, They Don't Have Any Political Instincts - Just Like The Working Class In America, Apparently - And Then Suddenly What The Hell Happened? What Was That? They Changed The World By Changing Themselves. Now Is That Over? No. Is The Civil Rights Movement Over? No. These Movements Have Not Accomplished What They Set Out To Accomplish.

This 1965. We Went To Trial On Our City. We Were Obviously Borrowing Tactics And Strategy From The Black Freedom Movement, And We Were Echoing Their Approach To Things.

I've Said For Thirty Years That Capitalism Is An Exhausted System. But Now You Can See The Handwriting Everywhere. And One Especially Horrifying Part Is The Fiscal Crisis.

There Was A Sense Of Palpable Relief That George [w.] Bush Was Leaving And That The Republicans Had Slipped Back And That Was A Wonderful Feeling.
