Trotskyites
Have Ideas
(Continued from Col. 8, Pg. 5)
subscription drive. The
Trotskyites came up with
programs. Everybody got
In the act except, curi
ously, the Communists. As
a matter of fact, back in a
dusty office In New "York,
they were grimly dead
locked In their last fac
tional fight. Although the
movement was a spontane
ous outburst of direct non
violent action, it didn't
please the libertarians and
pacifists. They went about
straightening every body
out, and -"Liberation" came
out with an article defining
the correct Line and point
ing out the errors of the
''ideologically immature.
As the kids so back to
school this fall, this is going
to be the greatest danger
they will face all these
eager helpers from the
other side of the age bar
rier, all these cooks, each
with a time-tested recipe
for the broth. All over the
world this kind of ferment
is stewing on college cam
puses. In Korea and Japan
and Tiirkev the students
have marched and brought
down governments and
humbled the President of
the greatest power in his
tory. So far the movement
is still 'formless, a world
wide upheaval of disgust.
Even in Japan, the Zenga
kuren, which does have a
sort of ideology the Left
communism against which
Lenin wrote his famous
pamphlet has only been
able to act as a cheer
leader. It has failed to im
pose its leadership, its or
ganization, or its principles
- on the still chaotic upsurge.
In France, the official Neo
GandRian Movement, in al
liance with certain sections
of the Catholic Left, does
seem to have given some
sort of shape and leader
ship. I am inclined to think
that this is due to the al
most total ignorance of
French youth of this gen
eration they had to go
to the official sources for
information and guidance,
they just didn't have
enough, themselves, to get
started.
Is this in a fact a "po
litical" upsurge? IT ISN'T
NOW it is a great moral
rejection, a kind of mass
vomit. Everybody in the
world knows that we are on
the verge of extinction and
nobody does anything about
. it. The kids are fed up. The
great problems of the world
today are immediate world
wide peace, immediate
race equality, and immedi
ate massive assistance to
the former colonial peo
ples. All of them could be
! started toward solution by
a few decisive acts of moral
courage amongst the boys
at the top of the heap. In
stead, the leaders of the
two ruling nations abuse
each other like litle boys
caught out behind the barn.
Their apologists stage ela
borate military and ideo
logical defenses of Marxian
socialism and laissez-faire
capitalism, neither of which
has ever existed on the
earth or ever will exist.
While the Zengakuren
howls in the streets,
Khrushchev delivers a
speech on the anniversary
of Lenin's "Leftism, an In
fantile Disorder" and uses
it to attack Mao! Mean
while a boy gets up in a
New York suburban school
and contemptuously hands
back his "patriotic" prize.
He is fed up.
' KENNETH REXROTH,
author and poet, was one
of the earliest "senior" 'sup
porters of the Beat move
ment, and has since be
v come, in certain respects,
one of its sternest critics.
He recently completed a
' lecture tour of university
- campuses.
