Thanks for this Orn - it will help with a local class next week. Amazing in some ways that we have lived 50 years since this speech and that things have, broadly, got worse. There was something about non- violent resistance that was not about becoming a docile or corrupt body - I believe there may have been a "capital-power" strategy against this through some kind of ridicule of the "honest person" and the promotion of ludicrous celebrity. I'm not sure this was planned in "smoke-filled rooms", but the clamour is incessant and many "honest Joe's" have been put up as saviours (Blair and Obama types, sadly) only to be either swamped or already bought by the corruption. Obama's use of the web to get funding may turn out to be the most interesting thing about him - could there be some way of properly radical and caring folk to change politics?
