"Democracy! Bah! When I hear that I reach for my feather boa!" -- Allen Ginsberg
It is essential that there should be organization of labor. This is an era of organization. Capital organizes and therefore labor must organize.
What does labor want? We want more schoolhouses and less jails; more books and less arsenals; more learning and less vice; more leisure and less greed; more justice and less revenge; in fact, more of the opportunities to cultivate our better natures.
If the workers took a notion they could stop all speeding trains; every ship upon the ocean they can tie with mighty chains.
Joe Hill
Happy May Day/International Worker’s Day!
We all should thank Newt Gingrich
Not only was he entertaining as hell (moon colonies, y’all!), he’s celebrating May Day by suspending his campaign on May 1st.
It’s about time a GOP candidate thought of the working class </sarcasm>
We should all tweet him and thank him for bringing attention to May Day and participating in a General Strike.
That’s what he’s doing, right?
No?
Eh, fuck it. Thank him anyhow:

Live video coverage of #OccupyOakland marching to the port
You HAVE got to see this. It’s amazing. I’m almost crying. Estimates are at least 4,500 people marching.
Solidarity forever, my friends!
