The us left failed to organize mass opposition to neo-liberalism, leaving the issue to the right. The Seattle 1999 demonstration protested neo-liberalism, but an ongoing mass movement on this issue requires the inclusion of working-class people, whites as well as people of color, and tactics facilitating their participation.

Its internal culture and orientation towards escalation of militancy discouraged the involvement of working-class people, whether of color or whites.
