Voting has its place, but mass movements are much more effective vehicles for achieving social change, Howard Zinn explains in his eye-opening lecture given at MIT. The U.S. constitution and government have always favored the privileged and powerful over the working class, and voting - even with the emergence of progressive parties such as the New Party - is merely an act of choosing amongst various evils. Zinn strengthens his argument by describing many movements that have made progress through mass protest, such as union and labor struggles, the abolition of slavery, civil rights, women's liberation, and the anti-war movement.
