“well-intentioned but hollow rhetoric” about organisation longevity once it has been decapitated…

I said it was the price I had to pay to be my own persona and that I was prepared to pay it. The Resistance, I claimed, would carry on its struggle in jail and also out. Our bodies might be locked up, but we would continue to organize. I claimed that when I was taken off to serve my sentence, others would pick up my work where I left off.
That last statement was typical of the well-intentioned but hollow rhetoric that seemed to overtake much of the sixties that fall. On November 4, 1968, The Resistance managed to turn in about the same number of draft cards as the previous December. Afterwards, it would collapse as an organization.
