Revolutionary Socialist/Marxist leads MoveOn.org pro-union rally

February 26, 2011, MoveOn.org's "Saving the American Dream" rally in Dallas. Complete with self-proclaimed Marxist/Revolutionary Socialist emcee.

On Saturday, February 26, 2011, MoveOn.org organized pro-Union rallies all over the United States called "Saving the American Dream." The Dallas rally was held at noon in front of The Beckley Courthouse, 410 S Beckley, Dallas, TX 75208. Hosted by Alvin Wyeth. While 322 participants were registered for the event at MoveOn.org, by 12:45 p.m. when we arrived, there were less than 100 people packed in the tiny front yard of the courthouse. While there, I was handed a pamphlet called "Time to show our power" with the heading of Socialistworker.org. After the rally, I approached the union emcee/'chant leader, to ask him why Socialist organizations are involved in union rallies. I boil his answer down to "Unions are the first step to Marxism," but listen for yourself.

That's not democracy. That's an angry mob of stormtroopers trying to dominate the streets like in mid-war Germany.

So... Democracy "looks like", 40-50 losers with nothing better to do?

Chanting something over and over, does not make it so.

This is one "dependent" video. =p

Your video is a favorite on Massachusetts

@LiberalAven True about your “mere structures” comment however, their structures are very different. Humans are imperfect, especially in any society who lost their moral compass, thanks to education. Humans run governments and corporations, immoral corporations eventually go out of business, immoral governments will spill blood before going out of business. Corporations generate wealth; a government only transfers wealth and consumes part or all of it in the process. Big difference!

@mkatweeks No cigar....

Just as current America isn't truly capitalist (or socialist), the USSR wasn't truly communist (or socialist). To this day, there is ONE country that has reached & sustained near-communism; Cuba.

No question, the USSR evolved into tragedy. But, the Russians had never known non-authoritarian rule AND tried full communism TO BEGIN. Moving into socialism through (and as) a democracy makes far greater sense.

Regardless... true capitalism is still better than this corporatism.

@DeathKorps94 Well, I've been researching for the last 6 years, and it's plain to me that we're not at all heading in a TRULY "socialist" direction.

I agree, however, that the current direction is toward the sundering of our Constitution (an utter travesty). As to the ends, though, I see them as FASCIST, not socialist.

And, don't give me the old "fascism is national socialism & thus socialist." National socialism isn't "socialist" in any sense that true socialists approve of. It abuses the term.

[LiberalAven]

@Mike10four Reality, in my view, is that both government and corporations are mere structures and not, in themselves, good or evil. BUT, all structures are operated and directed by human beings, capable of BOTH good and evil.

Upon founding, most structures are dominated by good persons (structures are created to make life better, after all). Sadly, over time, those of great cunning and greed will dominate these systems for the power, turning them from mild gain for all to major gain for the few.

@mkatweeks You're right, say I, that some socialist-minded reform allowed us to get to this awful point in the Republic's history, but capitalist-minded reform from Reagan onward is just as guilty. We could argue about whose side is more to blame, but that's fruitless.

The Problem: America isn't capitalist OR socialist... it's FASCIST, and that's STRANGLING LIBERTY!

The current system is a monster & it appears we agree on that. Let's build from there.

E Pluribus Unum,

@cuttheloop A truth! Chanting something over and over doesn't make it true; somebody should really get that into the heads of Congressmen and Fox News.

Examples:

"The wealth will trickle-down."

"Unions are what's stopping economic growth."

"Government always gets in the way."

"Obamacare creates death panels." (I don't like that law either, but the "death panels" crap is still a lie)

"Corporations are people."

"We fight them there so we don't have to fight them here."

And the list goes on........

@higuma75 An angry mob is one of the very essences of democracy! It's not the prettiest part of democracy, no, and it mostly shows-up when the system is MAJORLY FAILING... but it's TRUE democracy to the core; the people take it upon themselves to enact needed changes to return prosperity to the masses. That's not communism (though it CAN be). That's direct democratic citizens' action.

The Republic is failing because the representatives are corrupt. Fix it, or witness true democracy-in-action.

Oh, how cute... somebody knows how to edit video to keep somebody's sovereign words from interfering with the gut-reaction hatred that Americans feel against the labels ("Marxist;" "revolutionary socialist") for their stance. You must be OH SO PROUD of yourself! Just like the big boys do at Fox News, eh?

Why not post all of what he was saying at the end there? Afraid that people are starting to listen to those socialists? You should be afraid of that... because people ARE starting to listen.
