In their first three years' existence they visited 95 schools and 20 universities to speak about their fight for social justice and freedom. Over 11,500 students listened. Some will, I'm sure, rethink the possibilities.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300049961001109443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155740955707015184.post-89584506067196904392008-05-21T04:25:00.000+00:002008-05-21T04:25:00.000+00:00As a teenager I was given a great gift by some old...As a teenager I was given a great gift by some old anarchists. They ordered me to escort an elderly woman home from a meeting. She was a founding member of the Communist Party. She split with Trotsky and the left opposition to form the Socialist Worker's Party. Finally, in the late thirties, she broke with Leninism to join the Industrial Workers of the World. On the bus to her apartment she pointed out locations and told me their class struggle history. <BR/><BR/>This was more than thirty five years ago, and I can't remember anything that she told me, but I understood that the streets, that seemed so dull and ordinary, were alive with struggle. <BR/><BR/>I know a lot of old American leftists who are stuck in their youth and don't seem to be able to communicate with modern young people. I am trying to work with some young anarchists because I want to pass on some of what was given to me. <BR/><BR/>Your blog continues to impress me. <BR/>ThanksYour driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06406948739451124566noreply@blogger.com
