Radical Ron- on crack- speaks

You can't expect cops to change their behavior much when their sacred duty is to protect the private property of the rich. Naturally, have-not young blacks are tempted to redistribute social surplus value. And for petty crimes against the god of private property they are too often given the death sentence on the spot.


Only greater social equality for ALL working class Americans can bring real justice to the Other America, as socialist writer Michael Harrington called our "underclass." His book "The Other America" inspired Lyndon Johnson's Great Society legislation. Poor maligned Lyndon did do some things right. When will the Neo-Democrats stop fawning on the still comfortable middle class and SEE the real America? Time for a new War on Poverty?
