Disnfo?
HUAC demonstrations, US anti-Cuban Revolution backlash, Freedom 
Rides and most especially the antics of the Locals served to 
shape the nature of the struggles in the streets. The silliness 
spouted on this list about rhetorics and abstractions is 
beneath contempt. Malcolm at least got a hearing on the Tube, 
something that is denied to today's dissenting voices.

Critiques of the struggles on this list seem to focus on the 
period of the early to mid-70s which is after the Left had been 
heavily infiltrated with moles, diffusers and provocateurs for 
the purpose of discrediting it.
