Much has changed, but the tactics of the Left are not necessarily among those changes. What worked for them in the 1930s, 1950s & 1960s, are what they hope will work for them now.

A not so funny indication that this was coming, was observed at a reunion at my Left-oriented Alma Mater (Oberlin College), this past May, where a Professor in what was the "Government Department," when I was tearing up the campus "Liberals" as an undergraduate, was virtually licking his chops at the prospect for being able to join a 1960s style agitation. This did not just happen!

I realize that some Conservatives, today, like to pretend that the organized "Civil Rights" movement was not on the far Left, but a closer look at the personnel, tactics & demands, will tell a quite different story. All of the Marxist groups, at the time, rallied to the opportunity.

Tell me, if you can, what their tactics might look like. How do they plan to get around the fact that the right is much more numerous, better armed and trained? Most of the armed forces, law enforcement and veterans are over on this side of the divide.
