I think he makes some good points, but I’m unsure if the 9/11 movement is a real distraction for radicals in the social change movements. The movement seems to be more rooted in the liberal left.
It’s huge at WBAI and the rest of Pacifica (staff and audience). I
don’t know how you want to modify the Pacifica left - radical,

What remains of the radical left in 2007 is about .0000001 percent of the body politic in the Western World.
Monbiot’s claim that the “9/11 inside job movement” is a distraction to the entire left of center political
