[Peace-discuss] Out of context but to be noted in the article I just forwarded related to "provocateurs, " of and within organizations.

[Karen Aram]

“The “new left” tendencies that arose at this time included many positive features but had some dangerous flaws also."

“One flaw was that too often, a fetish was made of the "absolute right of anybody involved in an organization to express his or her opinion no matter how divergent from the main goals of the organization," or to engage in any activity which was “radical” regardless of whether it helped or harmed the cause. This extreme liberalism laid many organizations open to manipulation of some of their weakest elements by agents provocateurs.”

It’s also a means of totally discrediting an organization. Not exactly brain surgery, but it’s amazing how effective it is.
