Abstract	"By charting the development of groups like Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the Abalone/ Clamshell Alliances, the Direct Action Network (DAN), and the emergence of Occupy Wall Street (OWS), this paper explores how the New Left's discourse of 'the personal is the political' evolved into the neo-anarchism that became increasingly hegemonic from the Nineties up until Occupy today. It contends that some of the same limitations that demobilized the early New Left, New Social Movements, and the alterglobalization movement persist through the present, as in Occupy Wall Street. Exploring the continuities and ruptures between these movements, I argue that the prefigurative neoanarchist Politics that have become increasingly that were hegemonic within the North American left overcorrected themselves in response to the failures of twentieth-century Marxism, posing serious theoretical and practical Problems for social movements today."
