Doyle;
I don't think Ravi dislikes anybody as much as sees political
distinctions. What his point remains the over estimation of Seattle
in the scheme of things and he refers to some people who say it is
important as exemplars. In my view the pro immigrant marches were a
bigger deal in the U.S. than Seattle but hardly mentioned in most
discussions.
This discussion is fine in some ways. Dan Scanlan is a fine guy.
People can try things as they think Seattle defines the agenda. I
don't agree Seattle defined anything on the agenda of what to do. And
Seattle will not inspire a movement to come. However, the discussion
to make a movement and what really really works is well worth bringing
up.
The class inequality in the U.S. and around the world is the more
important issue in my view. The fact Brad Delong jumps into the
discussion about rising global inequality indicates a sensitivity
about the subject Seattle can not match in the currents of U.S.
thinking. Class is not an explosive issue in the U.S. as yet, but the
impact of class related actions like the pro immigrants marches on a
wider scale would be the 'singularity' of a new movement in my view.
thanks,
Doyle Saylor
