Again, I think we're in agreement. Chinese-Americans built themselves from being one step above chattel slaves to some of the wealthiest and most influential people in society. Penniless Jews from the shtetls of Europe have done the same. Ditto for Mormons, who were actively hunted by the U.S. Government. All of these groups "organized" by creating independent networks of power and influence. This is what organizing is. We might associate the word with things like ACORN or unionization drives, but those movements are essentially trying to do the same thing that these groups have done. If there is some nuance of difference between our views, I don't have the energy or interest to find out what it is. Have a good day.
