50. On the Socialist type I'd see waaay back '70's...

OK born & bred NYC'r. 🙂👍

I went to Cooper Union which sat right at the "border" of The Village to it's west, and The East Village to it's east. Think St Marks Place. Art, Architecture, Engineering & Science College.

This area had a bunch of leftist groups HQs near by is what I'd heard.

So after you got past the big lobby in the front you'd be walking down a wide hallway. With a bit of a pure hallway, and walls. Then, almost immediately to your left was the big, open cafeteria, while on the right side doors to many offices.

So.... The Socialist Workers Party would plant themselves right in that first hallways space, and a bit past that by the cafeteria.

To me their problem was they were always dour looking(!!!); I had No interest in engaging them! Always angry looking. 🙄😄 Way to win hearts & minds, people!

I remember there was some demo right outside our school, but I don't think it was related to the school. I think I was a part of it, and of course the SWP were out with their newspaper. I think I took one.
Maybe I even read some of it.

My vague memory was it's ?stridency. Idk, I think if you're not just talking to "your" people, you might want to have a mix of tone in the articles chosen. Imho.
