- PaulHoule 1y agoYeah, one corollary is that membership-oriented groups like Greenpeace, the NRA, PIRG and such are not effective at representing member’s interests because they have no way of communicating displeasure other than leaving whereas the sponsor of something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_network Has a meaningful voice. See another book from about the same time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit,_Voice,_and_Loyalty https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit,_Voice,_and_Loyalty
- bsenftner 1y agoIt's almost as if one could point at the failure of progressive liberalism to be due to these placeholder organizations that collect membership, member time, member dues, and then perhaps produce some showy PR, seed the press with some outrage media, and then they go home. They are worse than nothing, because they occupy the place of something better than their "in statement only" existence.
