I came across this while reading Black Velvet Bruce Li

A couple of the names of people attending this "event" jump out at me, like Ward Churchill and Gustavo Torres. I'm sure other names will mean more to others here on FR.

Gustavo Torres of CASA de Maryland was one of the people instrumental in trying to establish the notorious day labor center in Herndon, VA and apparently sees illegal aliens as a method to his madness of the workers' paradise.

Anyway, I hesitate to post this because it's so freakish to me but I do think it's good to know what these "revolutionaries" are up to and who they are.

A Communist lovefest for fellow Communists. Viva La Revolucion! The more things change in Latin America, the more they stay the same there.

The more we tie these names to efforts like this, the better.

It seems that citizens can just about do anything they like as long as it has a leftist vent to it. If a right wing group went to another nation to help devise ways to overthrow the government, I don’t think it would take too long for the feds to swoop in and do their magic.

Why do guys like Ward Churchill get away with this?

The 22 panelists, four or five of whom spoke each day, included political activists and writers from the United States expressing diverse political views...

Of course... the left is "diverse" if it ranges from "hard-core" to "ultra".

I never understood the attitude of these leftist revolutionaries?

“There’s no way we’re going to take this great, free nation and longer! No longer will we be able to work hard and earn a good living! No more will Christians be tolerated! No more will we put up with being able to provide for ourselves and not have to suppport deadbeats! Revolt! Revolt!”

IOW...WHAT are they revolting?

The Mouth that Roared.

Are these people TRYING to pick a fight with the US?

History shows, that countries that have gone to war with the US, and lost, have almost always gone on to be far more free and prosperous than they ever were before the conflict.

Conversely, nations that go to war with the US, and succeed in expelling the American forces, almost always fall into an economic slump so severe, they are starving and their nation is thoroughly demoralized, to the point their social structure collapses completely, even in the midst of potential wealth. North Korea is a prime example of “winning” against the US. For that matter, Cuba ranks right up there among countries of “failed” status. And Viet Nam is not far behind.

“The People, united, can never be defeated!”

Tell it to the Cambodians and the Norks.

Tell it to the gentle folks of Jonestown.

The Revolution, as they call it, is simply the chief sacrificial rite of the contemporary religion of the State.

The Vanguard, as they see themselves, are simply the judas goats of the human abbatoir that is socialism.

The Militant, according to its front page, is “A Socialist newsweekly published in the interests of working people.” Curiously, it does not list a publisher, which might give some indication of who pays for the creation of this rag.

Just from looking at the guest list of speakers would lead one to believe that being stranded on Fantasy Island with these freaks would lead to instant murder for survival.

I am surprised that Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosie, Hairy Reid, John Murtha and others wasn’t on the list.

>>Amina Baraka, introducing herself as “a Black woman who is a communist who uses the cultural arena,” spoke about her work and read a poem.<<
