You can't be neutral on a moving train

Excellent memoir; the most encouraging work I've read that's also fairly realistic about the major plight of the rampant injustice wrought by the American ruling class. Essentially, the notion that the role of large-scale organizing of the oppressed has been effective in two regimes: (1) the Civil Rights movement, and (2) the anti-Vietnam war movement. Admittedly, though, those two regimes (the war economy and racism) are now worsening and arguably have only changed form, rather than measurably improved. However, I think there's something to his optimism.
