Let's see the nazis kill tens of millions, the US government killed 1-2 million Vietnamese, while the 60's SDS related people killed maybe 2-3 people.
Or maybe Larry is influenced by Stalin's line "one death is tradegy, a million is a statistic".
I was comparing undemocratic tendencies, not death counts.
And if you want an example of how murderous the highly undemocratic SDS/Weatherman fruitcakes could have been had they ever gained any real power, take a look at Pol Pot's Cambodia or Peru's Sendero Luminoso, two examples of "progressive" intellectual movements married to lunatic ideologies.
