 Remembering Dave Dellinger
For Dave was a man who dissented because he loved his country, but more importantly than that, because he loved human beings, and he loved humanity.
Dave was an ardent pacifist, but he was a militant in the cause of peace and justice, only one who chose to fight his battles non-violently.
And in the best Ghandian tradition, Dave was always insistent that he loved his many enemies as friends, that even in the most strident of conflicts it was only his task to appeal to the best part of his adversary's humanity, and that that would have to be enough.

The musicians moved to New York, struggled before rising to mainstream success, and then succumbed to the excess of the drugs and rock n' roll lifestyle that brought the group to the same inescapable fall it predicted for the rest of the species.
Dellinger and Giffels are quite thorough with their insightful research into the upbringing of the musicians, noting how ethics of self-reliance, hard work and creativity were instilled in the Mothersbaugh brothers at a young age.
In covering Jerry Casale, the writers do well in their treatment of the Kent State tragedy and its ties to the development of the Casale's worldview and the strange, but similar connections that developed between Neil Young and Devo later in the decade.

Dave Dellinger, who passed away last month after a lifetime of activism, was always the remedy to that kind of poisonous disparagement.

 Rad Company: Vermont's Oldest Activists are Still Talking 'bout a Revolution
The table was crowded with senior activists: Peter and Elka Schumann of Bread and Puppet Theater, award-winning author Grace Paley and her husband Bob Nichols, and iconoclastic activist and author Dave Dellinger and his wife Elizabeth Peterson.
Though Dellinger was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease almost a year ago, Schumann insisted, "Dave has a very good memory, better than almost everybody, so he was correcting everybody." Dellinger and Jules Rabin were both teaching at Goddard College when the latter helped recruit Schumann and company as artists-in-residence.
Dellinger would go off to fight the good fight often for months at a stretch - leaving Peterson at home to take care of the kids and household, even as she worked and attended school.

 The Nonviolent Activist — May-June 2004
Dellinger himself was in the thick of the resistance to the war in Vietnam from the beginning, as an organizer, a polemicist and a protester.
It was in Vermont that Dellinger’s lifelong commitment to third-party politics (he was a founder with Cagan, Ted Glick and Arthur Kinoy of the National Committee for Independent Political Action) bore fruit in the election of socialist Congressional candidate Bernie Sanders.
Veteran war tax resister Juanita Nelson commented that, for her, Dellinger’s most endearing quality was ”his attempt to live his daily life as if he believed what he preached.” Nelson recalled meeting him at his print shop, living out the ideal that one should not work as either a boss or an underling.

 The Free Press -- Independent News Media - Ohio
Dellinger is perhaps best known as one of the “Chicago Seven” (originally eight, until they bound and gagged Bobby Seal).
Dellinger described himself as a “moral dissenter” and rejected his affluent background leaving Yale during the Great Depression to live among the poor and homeless.
On that less-trod path in our culturally Christian society, Dellinger found himself living among the poor in Newark, New Jersey; he spent World War II in Lewisburg maximum-security penitentiary as a pacifist war objector; and he was beaten and bloodied throughout the civil rights and peace movements.

He was the "elder" of the Chicago Seven, a group of protesters whose disruption of the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago led to charges of conspiracy and crossing state lines with the intention of inciting a riot.
The ensuing court case was turned by Dellinger and his co-defendants into a nationally-publicized platform for putting the Vietnam War and US foreign policy on trial.
Considered by many to be the most consistent advocate of revolutionary nonviolence in America, Dave sees the capitalist economic system as instrumental in causing poverty, violence and war: "How can you decide to have making money the object of your life when so many lack the basic necessities of life?" he asks.
