UC Davis socialist on pepper spraying of peaceful protesters

[wick198812]

Occupy protesters are ridiculous. Get out of the country if you don't like it. Please by the way, don't try and act like you understand the law either. The first amendment comments on here are elementary. Just becasue you took a govt. 101 class doesnt mean you know what your talking about. They did break the law and they got what they deserved. Cops take actions to avoid physical action. When you block their path, you know what to expect. These people are laughable in their comments.

Can't fit several volumes into 500 characters. Read Brenner-Steiner website and North and his friends articles vs them. Sadly, B&S are no better, fundamentally mired in same dogma, but the issue is whether or not differences dealt with in an honest principled way from which cadre can be educated.

DWS theory read T. Cliff- Nature of Stalinist Russia and F. Furedi- Soviet Union Demystified. They don't agree but can be synthesised. Talk after if u want.

I'm a UCD student, this guy does not represent our thoughts.

@bdgil1 What are your thoughts?

True, the working class must break from parties that have represented it over the last 100+ years, from the unions too. Is the ICFI/WSWS the organisation to replace them? Emphatically no. It is as mired in the mistakes of the last century as any 'socialist' movement. Unable to re-evaluate old positions from new information and experience, those mistakes are ossified in dogma.

The ICFI defends "degenerated workers' state" theory by lies and disinformation. And see the slurs vs Brenner-Steiner

[ZakeD3]

@1Mehring1 What are these supposed mistakes? And how do they defend the DWS theory by lies and disinformation?

I am a huge fan of John Pike. They should use stronger pepper spray. Obviously it was not strong enough.

I graduated from UC Davis in 2009. Here are some numbers you should consider. annual UC Tuition (not including books, rent, campus parking, food, printing fees) : '01-'02: $3,429 '02-'03: $3,834 '03-'04: $4,984 '04-'05: $5,684 '05-'06: $6,141 '06-'07: $6,141 '07-'08: $6,636 '08-'09: $7,126 '09-'10: $8,958 '10-'11: $10,302 '11-'12: $12,192 proposed 81% hike by Mark Yudof and the UC Regents would put tuition at over $22,000 by the '15-'16 school year..that's more than $7,000 per 10-week quarter

would be funny if some of the other disliked countries in the world offer to 'help' the Occupiers: Venezuela, USSR, China, ...

He speaks very well. I looked into this ISSE group. They seem really together. What a great analysis of the occupy movement I found on their website WSWS.ORG
