Forum Post Emersberger: Question

Hello Cindy. Thanks for the article. The Toronto Star published an article in which it only gave the CPC's assessment of the union's latest offer. It was asserted that CUPW's proposal adds $1.4 billion to the CPC's costs...

Forum Post Woodward: Sometimes it is OK to cross picket line

Hello, Look I don't know about this situation with the Huffington Post. But I think in some situations it is OK to cross a picket line. In New York City in 1968 the teachers union engaged in a racist strike to shut down a local school ...

I think that at the same time unions are demanding that the state "tax the rich and corporations" they have to be equally vocal about ending a system which produces rich and corporations, that is to say, ending exploitation at ti's r...

Welcome to the world of structural adjustment in the USA! Neo-liberal globalization proceeds apace. Things are going to get worse before they get better, if they get better.

David Jones apparently knows more than I do about the history of Mr. Trumka and the AFL-CIO, but what Trumka is calling for is going to be largely a waste of time.  Writing letters to congressmen and congresswomen and to the president is litt...

The unions should support the Other Campaign of the Zapatistas and not legitimize their eventual defeat. Now or never people.  They will only be voting for their own powerlessness as we have done here in the US.

Trumpka and the AFL-CIO are the problem, not the solution. All those years of brainwashing the rank and file that direct action was bad and electoral politics ( and Democratic Party)  was the way to reform are finally catching up to the burea...

  Nada, I saw you speak in NYC on this topic at the Left Forum on March 19th in a lecture entitled Rebellion & Self Organization in Egypt. . .”  You made lots of similar points.  Following your presentation, during the Q ...

I well remember the reactionary "hard hat" forces violently attacking us as we fought against the war in Vietnam. Anti-communist zeal was drilled into them and they lost any revolutionary consciousness that might have lingered. Now they ...

Forum Post Forbes: McCarthyism

After the attacks of McCarthy on left wing political parties and the expelling of left wing union  leaders the effectiveness of unions and the idea of brotherhood was abandoned. Unions, especially my union (UTU) became a joke and a tool of th...

I don't know if all serial killers kill for the mere joy of killing or if - like our government leaders - they imagine other objectives that they put above human life - similar to the way we walk down the street without caring abo...

I can appreciate where you are coming from Joe. My only thought is what if ,in your analogy, the serial killer is actually more complex than pure sociopath. What if he could be driven by more than the simple urge to kill?  Might he accidently...

Forum Post Emersberger: Can a serial killer really come to the rescue?

Forum Post, April, 01 2011 Joe Emersberger

I think an analogy best explains my position. Imagine a terrible crime is about to take place. Are there circumstances where calling on a serial killer to help the victim might be justified? Our governments are analagous to a serial killer ...

As usual with the Hitchensesque Nick Cohen, whose writing I once enjoyed before The Observer nailed its colours to the GWOT mask, he spends most of his time and energy calumniating his supposed fellow travellers before making a token leftward turn...

Thanks for your right on analysis.  There is nothing more politically important now than spreading Madison-style working class solidarity.  I went to Madison myself twice to support the workers.  The experience was nothing like the ...

Thank you for speaking the truth Professor Chomsky, time and again. The world needs more voices and minds like yours in these increasingly complex times. As I have heard you say before, we all need to arm ourselves intellectually and morally, thro...

Maybe the Democratic Party will die sooner rather than later.  Takeover by the Left?  It's sad that talk of general strike fizzed...  Had noticed the lack of corporate accuracy in numbers (going back to antiwar protests and earl...

Paul Street's articles are excellent and this one is no exception.  There are many reasons why the U.S. is as it is and why the so-called official establishment has moved in the rightward direction that it has.  Each country has its ...
