RUNNING YELLOW DOG LACKEYS!

[unionworks]

Petite Bourgeois purveyors of post-trotskyite posterior platitudes will never resolve the gasses of the masses!


This is what the "New Left" started to sound like in the late '60s.



When you sound like this, people stop listening to you.



Don't sound like this.

1. But those were four of my favorite words... Just didn't say them outloud...

[unionworks]

2. thanks for getting it

... they actually did sound like that. They got so hung up on their inner bickering about shit that ordinary people could give a fork less about, that they didn't notice nobody was taking them seriously anymore.
A mistake I sincerely hope Occupy doesn't make.

5. Yes, I ask folks to speak in more generic terms. But you know, folks love to show off their words!

The problem with ideology and buzz words is it turns into mental masturbation and really... no one's interested, you know.

6. in my 55 years

I have never seen a movement connect with the American people as well as Occcupy. This due in part I believe to the humility and inclusiveness of leaderless leadership and the beautiful simplicity of its message. Don't wanna lose that.

7. Absolutely! It's the best I've seen yet, and hopefully won't splinter into factions.

It seems gentler than any previous one.

8. I lived a ten minute walk from the Red Book Store in Jamaica Plain in Boston in the late 80s

and there was always a smoky group around a table in that place and they sounded exactly the same when their theorizing had turned most people off 15 years earlier.

I just got my books and left. I neither commented nor joined in. As long as they were nitpicking each other over minutiae, they weren't a threat to anyone, especially Democrats.

I just remember trying to explain what the rest of the country was like to them in the late 60s, early 70s. They all considered themselves such superior leaders that of course all the people in the country would slap themselves on the forehead and simply follow them. Ha.

9. that is EXACTLY

...What I am talking about.

[pinboy3niner]

3. Anyone who says 'posterior platitudes'...

...is talking out of his ass.

[unionworks]

4. I know

... that of which I speak. I am a confirmed expert at getting people to stop listening to me!
