It is sad that in thirty years, the U.S. Left hasn’t come up with a better idea than socialism. Dejected, I wandered away from the workers’ champions and approached a drum circle. Even this was dominated by superannuated radicals who couldn’t seem to play anything other than quarter notes. I struck up a conversation with one of the few college-aged girls in the vicinity, who asked me how I liked the music. As a drummer myself, I told her that I’d like to see the musicians venture outside of a 4/4 time signature. Perplexed, she picked up her “Buck Fush” sign and walked away.
It's interesting to see how languid and stagnant the anti-war left has become when it has lost its Jewish leaders. When the Jewish passion and genius is taken away from the movement, the gentiles seem unable to move on, and the whole thing has the appearance of a farce. No one believes in equality any more anyway. Feminism was all about getting good jobs for lesbians. Affirmative action was all about elevating the negro to a position of social and economic supremacy. Anti-war demonstrations are things people put on their CVs. No one could care less about heading the cry of the oppressed.
