Sunday spread: 'Everywhere they turn, someone is trying to make them a consumer'
01/14/01 - Philadelphia Inquirer
Chip Berlet is a senior analyst for Political Research Associates in Somerville, Mass., an independent research center monitoring radical groups and government surveillance.
"It's largely a youth-based movement [that is] just tired of the merchandising of reality. Everywhere they turn, someone is trying to make them a consumer instead of a citizen. They've studied enough to know the difference. And they've seen the wealth gap... individuals whose net worth is larger than the GNP of some countries....
If you look at L.A., Seattle, Philadelphia and Washington, what you're seeing is a return to repression of dissent. Instead of talking about communists, the anarchist is the new scapegoat. Instead of communist subversion, it's anarchist terrorism.... Nonviolent civil disobedience is not terrorism."
