Or perhaps Carl, if you want to go to a flea market or a mall and enjoy some lovely divisive competition and retarded rhetoric, you can set up a political flea market. Sounds great! [yawn]
If it's necessary to create a movement devoid of the usual Chicago splintering, co-opting attempts and male dominance, then it would be important to create the conditions that would be unattractive to those usual suspects.
Create conditions that will attract people who want to organize with other people. Do not create conditions that will atract competive people who want to control the agenda and other people to their own ends.
If that is intimidating to people who need to operate from a position of alleged/ assumed power and control, then GOOD! and hopefully, good RIDDANCE!
BTW, tell us about all those times you went to flea markets to organize the people. Also, the next time you go to a flea market or a mall to organize the people, let us know how it turns out.
Can't wait to hear about it.
