I like that stuff too but was actually thinking of a different thing, even though there is overlap. Like the US communists who helped found the ACLU about 100 years ago, or people who stood up for political freedom in the 1950s, or for free speech in the 1960s. Straight up through to today. Even though we don't have much power we might be making a comeback.
