Psh. I just wanted to make a note of the occasion. It's worthy of a personally written thread in EDP, since it's been side lined in history books along with May Day itself, but it'd just get trolls. Good thing people are more mature in here. razz

Funny how at first Mike confused you with Grace and then devolved into shouting at Rob.

Well, I thought it was funny, anyway.

But, yeah. Leftists getting shot by the bourgeois state is something we need to remember. Even if they were pathetic =P

It was never intended to be a fight with the cops... it just kind of devolved that way. It was supported to be a labor rally to support strikers and add pressure to the eight-hour work day movement.

But then Anarchists have a particularly badass reputation in the states, and this is one of the reasons why. It also got tied into xenophobic tendencies... the Anarchists were always from Germany, Italy, or some crazy place like that.

This becomes a pattern with the nation-state vs. Left in general.

It is almost never intended to be a fight.

And yeah. anti-anarchism (and to a lesser extent, anti-communism) was tied to racism, especially in the US.
I know here, there was a massive pogrom season in Queensland in 1919 against the Russian working class neighborhoods because those Russians supported ******** disgusting.
