The Z guy writes as if he was a real participant in the movement in 1968. I don't remember him, but I do remember how effective agent lefter-than-thou provocateurs sabotaged us, feeding our resentment when leaders ignored our advice, took us for granted, and made mistakes, fomenting paranoia and dissension, splintering, bitterness and remember "burn out?."  By 1973 people with grants from the Ford Foundation et al who sort of looked and sort of sounded like we had, had usurped our popular influence and begun to effectively marginalize anyone serious about grounding the movement in Marxist theory, who had btw, been pretty dang effective at drawing the center toward the left.
