Establishment with Mainstream
Others have noted that a fifth reason for decline exists; mainly, that
an organization becomes established with the mainstream. That is,
their goals or ideologies are adopted by the mainstream and there is
no longer any need for a movement. An example of this would be
the labor movement in the United States. For many years the labor
movement was brutally repressed by authorities, but today the U.S.
labor movement is well integrated into the political and economic
system. Collective bargaining rights are guaranteed by the federal
government (in most cases) and the labor movement is well estab-
lished within the political system (Macionis, 2001).
