Yes. And the home front _will_ stay as quiet as it is now. There is nothing in the world today the equivalent of the black liberatin movement of the '50s and '60s, and it was that movement which made possible an anti-war movement of the strength and militancy of the anti-Vietnam war movement. No one as _ever_ successfully predicted the next upsurge in the series of upsurges that have marked the history of capitalism for four hundred years. No one saw either the '30s or the '60s in advance. Even in 1966 no one had any idea whatever of the magnitude of what was coming in those climactic years of that era. But of course the work people were doing then (and had been doing, for example, 15 years earlier in the anti-war movement of the Korean War) made possible the upsurges that followed. We have to keep organizing against this war while knowing that our efforts will fail to effect it, barring events of which we have no knowledge now. Carrol
