I must disagree with Chomsky's statement about the 'sad legacy' of 1968's
radical student movement and the negative consequences allegedly suffered by
those radicals who did not plan for the future but thought that Revolution was
imminent.
I would call it a proud legacy. While there is nothing wrong with organizing or
with building movements, there are times when the people are way out in front of
their so-called leaders and events that were not anticipated take place. While
there are always revolutionaries there are revolutions only infrequently and I
don't see that history suggests that they follow a program.
