american revolutionary tradition is very fascinating to me

US Steel and Prison accounts from Lynd of his lawyerly work. Still think there's some pretty interesting stuff about social and racial solidarity that is formed only through adversity.

Stan Weird stuff was interesting too, leaving organizing to occur naturally in workplaces with already created informal groups. Removes the bureaucracy, but still allows centralized action.

organizing and relating to the oppressed takes spending time near them and co-opting their social experiences
age of the book is really shown in this chapter in my opinion, lynd gets pretty high and mighty about both the anti-war movement and his job as a lawyer
history is too often written by those above accompanied by an infantilization of those below, especially wc history

Appreciate ideas over more primal forms of communal living being teaching experiences for activists and how traditional working-class solidarity communication can be learned. Also comparison between 1960s and Current organizing (despite time passed) is fascinating.
