However, the main way to build the BRC is to take the views of the people seriously, even the fools and enemies. The kernel of truth is that many people are afraid of or hostile to the left. My proposal is that the only way to win people over is to sum up their experiences and shed light by winning them over to an analysis and course of action. We face this in Toledo and are making some headway. But, when people reply to this list with only their individual point of view, and no summary of practice in a mass context we are not getting light, just a spark.
