Scipes1: USLAW has been leading the charge

Forum Post, August, 28 2011 Kim1 Scipes1

Michael Eisenscher is correct in what he's saying in this piece--there ARE important changes going on in the labor movement AND it's still not certain that progressives will prevail.  There are a lot of people trying to turn the labor...

Sevilla: Two questions

Forum Post, August, 21 2011 David Sevilla

1. I never heard of the "Race to the Top" program. Can you give references to opposition to it from unions, or shortly explain why they oppose it? 2. Could you give some examples of previous instances of labour parties forcing big chang...

Waters: Working Class NOT Middle Class

Forum Post, August, 18 2011 Joseph Waters

Good article for the most part, but it should be the Working Class we are fighting for, NOT the middle class. We need some Socialism and Radicalism to inject the unions with some real fight. Check out these links for further advice on what should...

Weber: But austerity IS needed....

Forum Post, August, 17 2011 Mark Weber
Weber's ZSpace page

Implicit in any call for austerity measures is that they be forced upon those asked to accept them, if necessary, by the use of (naked, government) police or military power. What the various media pundits should say is, "(Imtelligent, honest) ...

Waters: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Worse Than Bush

Forum Post, August, 16 2011 Joseph Waters

Even better, make a protest vote for an ineligible, symbolic person or organization. In the 2010 elections I only voted where it was possible to write-in a candidate. I voted for Karl Marx for county commissoner, I think, and Mikhail Bakunin for a...

Paul, for what it’s worth, I also protest vote. I, however, consider the protest vote a very important act. If our fellow citizens protest voted en mass, things would be radically different. A significant vote for alternative candidates s...

The more enlightened commentators in the Australian business community are saying similar things.  The labour movement, allegedly represented by the Australian Labor Party, is mute.  The Greens, who have been the most honest commentators...

For what it's worth, I cannot myself act on the Chomsky-Zinn advice about voting Demomcrat to block GOP in contested states. I always protest vote and did not vote for Obama (voted for Nader) butI protest vote (which takes about half an hour incl...

Some very good points here but let me say from my experience over the last couple of years that some of us radicals need to dial down the alienation a tad.  I get the angry and accusatory tone and have contributed to it myself over the y...

“(yes, better Roosevelt than Hoover, better anyone than George Bush [or Scott Walker-P.S])” Jeez Paul, anybody but Bush? I thought you were better than that. When it comes to bad Presidents, Obama is the clear winner, with Clint...

While not well off, I've never worked in a factory (though in one job did belong to a union). I love your article Gregg. Agree with almost everything you've said. The only thing I disagree with is I think you're being too hard on yours...

     I just wanted to throw in my two cents on a topic I've thought about considerably over the years.  As a young child my biggest hero was Martin Luther King.  It was a strange attraction for a white boy in a 99...

Dick is right and his report about Gov. Jerry Brown is a sad commentary on someone that used to think differently.  Perhaps it relates to the so-called rank and file, too.  I have only been back in the U.S. to live after many years ...

Being a current retail drone myself, I must unfortunately admit that Wal-Mart probably is too big to sue, given our current corporate protectionism climate. However, the one area of our economy that hasn't suffered lack of opportunities is $10...
