The youthful historical reenactors calling themselves, the "New SDS", imprinted their name on the same call, for the same anti-authoritarian contingent that meets in the same place, at every stinking DC march. Taking credit for it is a page out of the old little red book.
The SDS banners were there, because like any formal, static organization, collegiate-tribute or otherwise, they have to expend resources to promote and sustain the organization, which soon becomes the first priority.
Organization comes from struggle, not the other way around.
I'm not alone in not being able to take the "New SDS" and more seriously than the "New Black Panther Party."
