Great quote. First heard it from David Horowitz.
Red diaper baby David Horowitz is an expert on the mentality of the Radical Left. In his pamplet Barack Obamas Rules for Revolution, (which I highly recommend, by the way) David makes the following point:An SDS radical once wrote, the issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution. In other words, the cause-whether inner city blacks or womenis never the real cause, but only an occasion to advance the real cause, which is the accumulation of power to make the revolution.
