VIDEO: Chicago Commies in Wisconsin

Posted on | February 20, 2011 | 25 Comments

Thanks to Maggie’s Notebook for this video from the MacIver Institute showing Chicago-based members of the Revolutionary Communist Party arriving in Madison to distribute their propaganda at the protests:

Bob Avakian’s RCP is the leading Maoist group in the U.S. RCP spinoffs include Refuse & Resist and Not in Our Name, which were important presences in the Bush-era anti-war protests.

One of my pet peeves about mainstream media coverage of those protests was how they blithely ignored the involvement of Marxist organizations, including International A.N.S.W.E.R., a front for the Workers World Party, a bizarre Trotskyite splinter group.

Every time there was a major left-wing protest in D.C., these commie groups would be out in force, and the media never reported it, whereas any time there’s a Tea Party event nowadays, the media squawk ”Koch money! Koch money!” like a fucking parrot.

Speaking of which, what the hell is going on at Forbes? Why are they publishing Rick Ungar, who disgraced himself with his idiotic “Send the Body to Glenn Beck” screed in the case of the Kentucky census worker who, as it turned out, had committed suicide?

    “Send the Body to Glenn Beck” screed in the case of the Kentucky census worker who, as it turned out, had committed suicide?

    Too bad, that congresswoman from Tuscon didn’t actually shoot herself in the head to make your defense of possibly unrelated but nonetheless unhinged, irresponsible rightwing rhetoric more easier.

    WTF are you talking about? “More easier”? Did you not get past the fourth grade?

    No, she was shot by another devotee of Marx, like you, liar.

    Not everyone’s first language happens to be English.

    I’m a non-native speaker of the Eng lang, and when i don’t edit my comments i tend to make elimentary mistakes from time to time.

    I would be glad to hire u as my editor if u happen to be one of those unemployed (and good for nothing) folk in the US.

    Oh, look at you trying to cover up for your grammatical error by pretending that English is your second language.

    A minor point, Stacy: I wish folks would quit honoring any of these groups as being “Anti War.” None of them were anti-jihad, therefore they could not have been anti-war.

    In 2004, I saw, on the Fourth of July in Ann Arbor, a real, honest to God “Peace” group marching in the parade. They had peace signs, rainbows, flowers, hippies, and stuff, sure, but they had no signs slamming Bush, no signs slamming Halliburton or claiming anything was going on that was about blood-for-oil.

    All they did was sing and hold signs desiring peace. Just good, old-fashioned peace. I had to cheer them on.

    I haven’t seen anything like it here or in the news since. Never an “End The Jihad” sign at these rallies. Never a “Let the people choose” sign. Just the usual hard-left accusations, idiocy, and slander.

    So no, please stop calling these organizations “Anti War.” I know you gotta use the terms the peeps can “grok,” but new terms are coined by clever writers. Coin us a new term, please.

    Just one more element to the upside of the events in Madison. When this fight spreads to some of the other states all the different varieties of loony leftists will be crawling out from under their rocks and out of the woodwork. While we have long been aware that all the disparate elements of the Bolshevik Conspiracy support each other, many Americans don’t realize or refuse to believe that Public Employee Unions, Maoists and the newest group Democrats Against Democracy are merely different pages of the same manual. This is getting a lot more press than any Tea Party rally and many more Americans are paying attention.

    Organizing for America is out supporting the public union side.. The RCP is out supporting the public union side..

    But don’t call Obama a socialist.

    Can you do us all a solid? When you finally do get around to taking basic grammar, can you take some Logic courses along with it?

    I know, I know. That means you’ll have to give up being a shitball little Leftard,gg. But the world will be the better for your self-improvement.

    As with Egypt, Obama botched his response.

    He should have just kept his nose out of state business. Instead, he goes all in – not just rhetorically and with tacit support of the protesters, but using his own campaign organization OFA and the DNC to provide material support.

    Walker won the election for Governor less than four months ago by 6%. Not an overwhelming mandate, sure, but a clear win. And he in no way disguised his plan to deal with the public employee unions: he in fact RAN on the very policies he is now attempting to implement.

    The national media is minimizing Obama’s footprint in the Madison fracas, but the state gets it. How does one put together a majority in the Electoral College for a Democrat without Wisconsin? The last one to do it was Wilson in 1916.

    His slavish devotion to his union masters is understandable, and the threat to their power if other states refuse to collect their dues for them is quite clear – and must frighten Democrats, who depend on the forced shakedown of hapless workers to fund all sorts of illicit activities.

    God, I hate communists. They are truly the lowest form of life.

    The intend to grease the wheels of social justice with our blood and they think we’re so stupid we don’t recognize their bad intentions.

    Beware those whose goal is to immanentize the eschaton. Their righteousness knows no bounds.

    For those of you who want a better understanding of the religious roots of communism, check out Murray Rothbard’s Karl Marx: Communist as Religious Eschatologist. Pages 16-33 are a laugh riot. The antics of early communists like Muntzer, Bockelson and Knipperdollink will have you on the floor. It’s history, but it reads like farce.

    I’m doing you a favor, I promise you. Read the article. It’s absolutely fascinating.

    Randy_Rager asks, “can you take some Logic courses”?

    I can teach you logic courses while i take a nap. In fact i’ve taken grad level courses in Mathematical Logic and Mathematical Philosophy. From UMASS. Got A’s in both.

    I suspect you need some good courses in anger management and perhaps drug rehabilitation.

    It’s fun that the irony of your stupid comment is lost on you. Apparently the mathematical illogic of it escaped you because of your English limitations, or something. Let me help, Scrotulous:

    If Giffords had shot herself in the head, and teabagging leftards like you had nonetheless blamed her injury on “unhinged, irresponsible rightwing rhetoric”, much as you did when she got shot by a nutty leftist?

    Yeah, it would be just as more easier to laugh at your silly arse.

    Capisce?
