THere is a difference between leading and fighting... The WU and their ilk wackos actually thought they were going to be the Army.

Its amusing. As to our revolution, most of the poeple leading and doing the fighting were not pretty boys.

The 60s activists were bay and large ignorant dupes of communist plants... trying to stir up upheaval in the US to undermine it. Unfortunately for their case, the american middle class worker lives a pretty good life... so they could find no buyers willing to rally to there cause other than frankly idiotic students.

THe Socialists and COmmunists were much more of a real threat to this nation in terms of political change during the great depression than the 60s. The only difference in the 60s is the TV networks and news media went gaga over these twits.

However in numbers it was the 30s where Communism and Socialism was at its peak in american politics, not the 60s.

They thought they were going to inspire a revolution just like Fidel did when he attacked that military barracks. The WU figured they would lead & the masses would follow.

Our revolution was started by taxpayers -- not the poor.
