An interesting question you pose! For an in-depth analysis of the protest movement, first examine what organizations were behind what might appear as innocent demonstrators. The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and many of its sympathizers was probably the most organized and well funded of them all, with tentacles reaching into the most innocent sounding group. The lasting effect of the CPUSA is that practically any organization today that has the name "Peace and Justice" anywhere in its banner can trace its lineage back to the CPUSA. Many of these types of groups are still alive and well today, as evidenced in the anti-war demonstrations. Much of the anti-capitalist trouble-makers and dregs of society can also be linked to earlier groups linked in turn to the CPUSA.
Sadly, the US was cursed with gutless wonders back in the 60's and 70's, and their offspring or themselves are still practicing their craven works, except this time it is called "cut and run." AS Vietnam war veterans, we were harmed by their lily-livered actions, and I fear that our current crop of warriors will be even more damaged by the cowards and traitors of today.
