I'm intrigued by the reference to Mike Cooley in LP's last post on Rover. First, what is Cooley doing these days? Has he written anything we can get our hands on in the US? Second, why didn't South End reprint the revised version of his ARCHITECT OR BEE?, which is much better (IMO) than the first version? (It is almost impossible to get the revised edition in the States.) My sense is that the Lucas campaign represented a highwater mark in socialist organizing. In retrospect, aside from the obvious problem of corporate power, there was an imbalance between supply-side organizing (which was vigorous) and demand-side organizing (which was haphazard). There are important implications for socialist theory here--that revolutionizing demand is as important and will take as much work as revolutionizing production. But we learn as we try out strategies and ideas. Peter Dorman
