I agree mack. The establishment tries to co-opt and liberalize every movement that starts to get some traction. And because they have infinite resources and represent the evilest motherf*ckers on the planet, they often have an impact. The solution is more organizing, more people in the streets, more disruptions together with an awareness of the dangers of co-optation. I think anything that brings people together and gives them an inkling of their collective power to effect serious social change is probably a net gain. While preemptively dismissive critiques that see no movement as politically pure enough to pass the radical-cred exam are the opposite. Especially when they mistake elite infiltration and attempts at cooptation/neutralization as evidence of a dark conspiracy in which all the leadership and spokespeople of the movement are implicated.
