Violence reported at Seattle May Day celebration

   No " democratic socialist " would encourage mob violence or carry a banner saying " We are ungovernable "( anarchists ? ) But the American working class has been betrayed by both the Democratic and Republican Parties. 

   Next May 1 militant workers will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 1917 Russian Revolution : " Ten Days That Shook the World ". 

    Presently, many democratic socialists are giving critical support to " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders. 

    But Bernie's " political revolution " is just part of the big picture of Democracy Spring.
" Unacceptable economic inequality " is a morally superior issue to Hillary Clinton's effete and fatuous " identity politics ". 

    Also there is still a vibrant anti-war movement in America opposed to the New Colonialism - the reality behind our endless " war on terrorism ". 

    We all believe in peaceful protests and peaceful progressive social change.

                    A Chicago 1968 flashback

  
 "  The confrontation was not created by the police; the confrontation was created by the people who charged the police. Gentlemen, let's get the thing straight, once and for all. The policeman isn't there to create disorder; the policeman is there to preserve disorder."    ( Mayor Richard J. Daley )

Next May 1 they can celebrate the Russian Revolution
