12. That's a valid question.
There are a large number of small community based waging small isolated struggles, but the only changes in the power relationships between people and corporations have been for the worse. The major victories in the human rights and justice struggles of the '30's through '60's (and before and since) were waged by more militant means and more traditional means (by many methods and on many fronts simultaneously).

I posted mainly to help people see how Obama is doing his organizing work, as a counter to the one-dimensional view so many seem to hold. Whether it will succeed or even what goals he seeks remain to be seen.
