I just read a long NATION piece online that criticizes a rather dismissive denial of the effectiveness of internet and such like tools for progressive organizing. I think it explores in detail many of the ideas I was rather preliminarily trying to sketch in a previous blog post. Read it and perhaps we can discuss it. Here is the url. I cannot figure out how to make it clickable [I know, I know, you have told me before], so just cut it and paste it into your command line.

Great article. Thanks for the link. It's almost a little primer on how to incorporate new media to pull off an activist event. Although our usual impression is that the internet is disorganized, random, diffuse and unreliable -- more than half of its intellectual content is tripe -- there is nothing about the medium that necessitates a lack of focus, and much about it that makes it much more powerful than any previous media when it is focused.
ReplyDeleteMy friend always praises Robert Paul Wolff Marx and always insists that I should visit him. To be honest, I never got an opportunity to visit, but I promise, I will visit once I am done finding company law dissertation topics for my dissertation. I am sure you will not disappoint me.
