There are others, sure, but not that many in the grand scheme. A lot sloughed off and made their lessons suspect when they clung to status quo while we're under attack. It's also why everyone's bootstrapping this, because the people who care from previous organizing-generations are either burnt out, or more often, unwilling to help. After all, it's a small issue in the grand scheme, we're a small minority.
