May I make a comment from a distance? If I was given a choice between the
previous period of relative inactivity and the current upsurge of struggle, I
would take the current upsurge, with whatever shortcomings it has. I think
some of the shortcomings may be inevitable until a leadership gels. And this
leadership is struggling to emerge from the smothering influence of the
Democratic Party. Within the current upsurge I would support those who are
trying to promote self-organization and a perspective of ongoing struggle.

To anybody who might have gotten the wrong impression, my post was a
polemic against a poetry professor who argues that riots are the form of
the coming insurrection. That's from the Verso blurb, as if Tariq Ali
doesn't know the difference between an insurrection and a revolution.
I also included FB posts by Rick Sklader who embraced the protests,
including the burning of Target. He warned, however, about alt-right
penetration of the protests that led to the burning of a library and a
black-owned barbershop.
