Looks like a bad idea, coupled with poor execution, married with a complete lack of direction, has done in another leftist organization. The elitist and exclusionary Project 1877, with its "live by our ideals or to hell with you" mentality, is toast. Maybe the "leaders" of the Pittsburgh activist community will finally recognize that just because you build it and look for someone else to foot the bill does not mean they will come. Project 1877 had about as much chance of succeeding as Shelly WInters has of running with the bulls at Pamplona. What was the purpose? Was it a living room for the directionless to hang out and bitch about "The Man"? What the hell was it other than a bad idea in its prime.

Go to the party. Have some fun. And shut it down.
