Union decline and " political correctness "

         There is a myth that the news media is imbued with left-wing

    prejudice. But why should the billionaire owners of newspapers,

    magazines, radio and TV stations leave the management of these

    powerful voices of " public opinion " to " dizzy leftists " ?

              How rarely does the public get a WORKING CLASS slant

    on the news ! It is hardly an exaggeration to say that most

    newspapers editors  have one purpose in life : to stifle a little

    thing called  CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS. For years now the phony academic

    Left have tried to substitute an innocuous mindset called


    " political correctness " - that DIVIDES the masses into small

    minded, self-centered, mutually  antagonistic groups that blind

    themselves to the really dominant forces in human social life.

               If the politically correct Left had Marxist backbones -

    and had great influence on the news media, then why has union

    membership declined here in the United States - the land of the FREE-

    to a miserable 9 percent of the work-force ?

              For almost a generation rather ludicrous race, gender,

    ethnic conflict has replaced  solid, rational CLASS STRUGGLE.

                 And clearly just about all the worlds major religions

    prefer crackpot mysticism to anything as subversive as  CLASS

    consciousness.

               The Islamic crackpots crash airplanes into tall office

    buildings - killing thousands of infidels - in the name of Allah.

    Jewish crackpots arrogantly build settlements on disputed land -

    with the delusion that THEY are the CHOSEN PEOPLE . The Catholic

    Pope has one relentless message to the destitute of the earth :

    KEEP THE BAMBINOS COMING !

                Our pious president, George W. Bush, wants to  wage

    war against Iraq - unprovoked and in contempt of Allied opinion -

    to the tune of " Onward Christian Soldiers ".

                  Is  Russia really better off as a capitalist society ?

     Gangster capitalism has ruined the former Soviet Union -possibly

    for centuries. Wasn't dialectic materialism easier to put up with

    than mass drunkenness and Scientology ?  Under the planned economy,

    the average Russian citizen could at least hope to reach age 65.

               The collapse of the Soviet Union was brainlessly

    misinterpreted by bourgeois ideologists as the vindication of

    a ruthless, reckless, soul-destroying, global capitalism.

              Whada ya mean: " workers of the world unite " ?

         Happy Labor Day !  Now you working class people have

    nothing to lose but your lottery tickets. Happily you got

    your Budweiser back - thanks to those damned Teamsters.
