Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - April 13, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news Section one 2 sections vol. 92, no. 87 it. Pleasant Iowa monday evening april 13, 1970 Price to cents showers these Days by John Chamberlain an sex president of ads grows up Carl Oglesby was president of the students for a democratic society in 1965-66, when there was at least a vestige of belief among the members of his organization in the virtue of settling differences by arguments votes and other non violent Means. He was not an exactly scholarly Young Man but he did not make a habit of wearing distorting lenses All the time. The piece he wrote on his experiences in Cuba for life Magazine had fresh and vivid passages even though it betrayed a rather Blissful ignorance of what had happened in Cuba prior to 1959. Cuba was not badly off economically and Batuta was on his Way out anyway altogether Carl Oglesby increased one As being Young inexperienced misinformed but still educable. Now he is proving that nobody not even a president of ads need remain anchored to ideology forever. Carl Oglesby has looked at what has been done by Mark Rudd Bernardine Dohrn and the other ads ers who compose the Weatherman faction of the revolutionary youth movement and has been properly horrified at what he sees. He has been talking to College groups and though he still believes in a dialectical materialism Quot a marxist concept he thinks that the weathermen a analysis of the world revolution is nothing More nor less than a a the weathermen he told a group of Stanford University students have been guilty of a leaping upon the barricades in a fantastically premature engagement with our capitalistic society and the result is that a lives Are being too so far As the United states is concerned or. Oglesby is now keeping a relatively Clear head. A the lid a he says a is not about to come unlike a later Breed of , or. Oglesby has tumbled to the fact that the working classes in America have save for the a hard cores of slum dwellers who Are Only intermittently employed become quite Bourgeois in their tastes. They Are the ones who throng to the marinas on week ends to enjoy themselves with Small boats. They like their Beer in front of the to set on sunday afternoons when swinger Joe Namath of the new York jets is trying to connect with a Long one to Don Maynard. They want Comfort Security and a wage that will keep up with the newer standards of living and they Are willing to strike for these things without wanting to turn the strike into a revolution. They expect to get comfortable strike benefits when they Are not working. It is the perception of things As they Are in America that now has Carl Oglesby saying that a the u. S. Is one big master class with a lot of Little substrates not a society structured by classes a Richard Nixon could not have said it better nor Barry Coldwater for that matter. Too or. Oglesby is not quite so perceptive however when he looks at the outer world. He says a if the third world is the proletariat then the War of the classes takes place on a global Well there Are a a proletarian nations in the sense that some Are poorer in material substance than others. But this does not mean that the third world taken As a whole has any More desire to defeat a a capitalism than the average member of an american Union. Save for Cuba and North Vietnam and a few other countries Brazzaville Congo May be one the a third world governments have been trying to establish nation states which do indeed make use of socialistic measures yet at the same time try to encourage peasants and Small people in general to improve their own standards of living on a capitalistic basis. A Arab socialism a for example is not marxian Kenya under Jomo Ken Yatta has a mixed Economy the South americans have not slowed under their All too tiny Middle classes. The mexican revolution which has encouraged the growth of the Middle class is still far More influential among latin americans than anything introduced into the hemisphere by Fidel c astros Cuba. Or. Oglesby As it turns out does no to like the bolsheviks any better than he likes the bourgeoisie. He finds great similarity Between worship of the Gross National product and deification of the five year plan. A a there a a better Way to live a he says. And so there is. But in a country like the United states if a person wants to live on less and enjoy it More he is free to do so.
