Actually The Masses was a communist/anarchist publication shut down in 1919

Definitely. I highly recommend you read his book. It's very convicting of not only those who are up top, but also to those of us below. Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt encourage us to action to challenge the system that rapaciously destroys life to the benefit of a few.

[mistahzistah]

Simply perfect. The ending was by far the most profound and damning condemnation of American evil I have ever heard.

[Vigen Soorenian]

I salute you, Chris Hedges. Brilliant as always.

[Peggy Manfredi]
