New Left Watch

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I'm not sure if the Black Panthers can be considered representative of the 1970s New Left, let alone its modern incarnation.

Thing is, similar groups - by which I mean 'had an almost nihilist hard on for political violence' rather than in other respects - existed on the fringes in quite a few countries, and there was often a lot of (misguided) sympathy for such groups in the more 'mainstream' elements of the New Left.

What I will say is that on this matter - as on so many other contentious issues of the 1970s - Network is spot on.
