Boston communists say they want a revolution. Now they just have to agree on how to bring it about.
A pimple-faced teen with Coke-bottle glasses and a self-satisfied smirk stands near the doorway of Harvard Square’s tiny Revolution Books. He’s skinny and draped in a large black T-shirt adorned with a full-color portrait of Joseph Stalin, the iron-fisted despot responsible, directly or indirectly, for the deaths of millions.
"Stalin is my friend," the kid says, at once cockily and geekily, as he stares at the floor.
"Yeah, yeah, but we can do better than Stalin," says the guy behind the counter who, even though it’s hot, is wearing a heavy sweater under his SERVE THE PEOPLE T-shirt. "We can do a lot better. You can have socialism without suppressing intellectualism." His name is George Bryant, and he’s a volunteer at this decades-old bastion of unabashed communist agitation, a bookstore that, amazingly, still survives in the ever-more-corporatized "People’s Republic of Cambridge." Bryant gestures toward a stack of books and DVDs from the Maoist Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP), whose chairman, Bob Avakian, is "really offering a deep critique of America and an in-depth defense of communism — in a sense reinventing it without throwing out the whole."
The kid and his friends, high-schoolers obviously flirting with jejune hard leftism, seem noncommittal and a little nonplussed. "What would you guys think about taking a bunch of these?" Bryant asks, offering a stack of the Maoist RCP weekly newspaper, Revolution, for them to proselytize with. The kids demur, and they leave.

Cambridge arsewholes are exactly that.
It really isn't important what they think. They don't.
Fred Sanford was supposedly a WWII veteran. ("Threw his back out in training"...)
Mao lead farmers in revolt. This is city people, I say we do like Mao and run the city folk out.
You can have socialism without suppressing intellectualism.
Um, ok. As long as the intellectuals tow the party line and don't try any of that independent thinking or creativity nonsense. (eyeroll) Just ask Solzhenitsyn how nice it was to be an intellectual under Stalin. Or any of the nameless gulag residents just how great intellectualism was under Stalin. Oh, wait, you can't, he had them all 'taken care of'. The intellectuals, like this guy thinks he'll be under communism, need to realize they can be all that so long as they don't mind being told what to think and not to ask too many questions. Boston's practically there.
Massachusetts is well on it's way. John Effin and Teddy and Barney are working hard to demonize the middle class and pass around their socialist ideas. The taxes alone make it hard for any middle class to really be well off and the benefits for the poor keep them lined up and obedient to their leaders - and hating the people they are told are the rich, but in reality are the middle class. Of course, John and Teddy are the unquestioned elite that run the machine.
I'm living it!
One of the First State Department E.O.s Clinton signed after Sissitary of State Warren Christopher was confirmed.
My sister and bil live there as well. I love it there and have considered a move, but that is certainly a negative. We hear of conservatives (always said kind of funny by Mass state libs) there - as many as 30-35% some stats say - but my sis and bil are fairly apolitical. They say it's safer. What a political climate!
"As soon as these pimple faced adsolescents get laid their interest in the left will clear up."
LOL that reads like an advertisement for Clearisil zit cream. Pimple face, clear up.
Looney male leftists = over the hill juvenile virgins. Their angst is all displaced sexually repressed aggression.
"I think those wine and cheese communists in Boston should get a taste of class warfare."
ie., they need to grow a set of grapes to back up their cheesey whine.
:D
"but my sis and bil are fairly apolitical. They say it's safer"
Gawd so much for the "liberal" mindset of being free and easy when some people have to hide their true beliefs and opinions because it's "safer". Sounds like some occupied communist country during WWII rabid with paranoia.
The most effective way to really piss someone off is to not take them seriously. So I suppose I got plenty of mileage out of that "Mao More Than Ever" shirt....
If this were a communist nation, Mr. Dotterman, you'd be right.
But this is the United States of America. You're a commie, Mr. Dotterman, because this nation protects your right to be one.
So are parts of New Hampshire and Vermont. It is becoming SO expensive to live that middle-class wage earners are moving away...you just can't afford to live here. I'm in a town of 20,000 in west NH, and rents average $1000 - 2000 per month. When you're making $15 - $20 per hour, it is tough to hang on. There are TONS of jobs, but no takers. Doctors, lawyers, and college professors can hack it, but the service industry that waits their tables, does their dry cleaning, and operates their retail sector are leaving...who will do their 'dirty work' then? Interesting times...
This is the type of thinking we are dealing with. Of course it wasn't nonviolent -- until the communists took over. By 1918 an extremely bloody civil war broke out.

Why, cheap illegal immigrants of course. High end hotels and cruise ships have already implemented cheap foriegn labor disguising it as a "fun foreign exchange program". Har har har....
Terrorist wars such as the I.R.A.
do fall under domestic or genocide.
LOL...great minds think alike! That's just what I told me wife this morning...might be time to invest in Spanish lessons.
" might be time to invest in Spanish lessons."
I kick myself for ignoring my parents advice to take Spanish classes during high school. I took another language with intentions on partaking in a college foreign exhange program which never materialized. Oh well, the best laid plans.
If that's the case, it shouldn't read "nil" in the domestic and genocide categories, right?
Geez..."me wife" = "my wife"...am I Popeye or something?
Oh and the so called fun foreign exchange work programs aren't filled with just south Americans. There are many from such countries as Romania and the like. They lure foreign twenty something year olds who are youthfull and want to sew their oats abroad and aren't looking to settle down starting families. ie., they get free room and board and get to travel the globe. I haven't talked to enough of them to see if its a great deal for them or not. Guess it beats back packing and sleeping in cheap YMCA's or hostils(sp?)
Guess I'm too old to take advantage of that deal...
My mistake I left out the "not"
Terrorist wars such as the I.R.A.

Yep sorry to say none of them ever look older than 25 to 28 years old. I figure because they're young, adventureous and care free as we all are at that age. No baggage to worry about and by the time they're 30 yrs old it's time to head back home or marry an American for citizenship.
:D
I know, I just revealed the legislative plans for the DNC. I expect one of Hillary's plas to perform a "Vince Foster" against me.
Exactly what we tell them. Gee, the liberals are soooo enlightened and tolerant. I think they're both closet conservatives, at least to some degree, but expressing political or -horror- religious beliefs is strictly, to quote my sister, verboten. John and Teddy and Barney must be so proud! (oh, wait, they are...)
Otoh, I haven't received any feedback (verbal, keying, etc) on my Bush sticker when I visit. And we do play 'spot the Bush stickers' to pass the time on the drive. lol
I know, it's so true. I thought I could get a job there, but I couldn't crunch the numbers to make it work. It's funny to hear people who are dems there complain about the cost of living and jobs and illegal immigrants, but don't dare whisper that perhaps their support of the dems is at least part of the problem. It's humurous to hear some of the liberal talk radio on our drive, some of the callers are so close to conservative thought, yet they claim to hate it, and the dem system they worship is what is taxing them out of existence, but their 'solutions', when pressed, almost always involve more taxes.
It's easy to see who is taking those jobs, at least in some neighborhoods, that regular hard working Massachusan middle classers have to give up and leave - the illegal or barely legal immigrant. They afford the high rents by sharing living quarters with many others and do the work, but neither seems to realize it's the death of the middle class and the upper class Kerry's will just continue to lord it over whoever is left to do their 'dirty work'. Sadly, some of these immigrants may think they can achieve the 'American' dream, only to later be caught short when they can never rise above menial, low wage labor, once the middle class is really gone and the uppers rely on them to clean up. Ironically, my own rural western PA area has seen some migration of these Mass state middle class folks who come here to my area for the labor jobs.
Also many movies have Spanish audio and subtitles, and I reflexively check the jackets of prospective dvds to see if it has them. Probably not the best way to learn Spanish, but I am learning at a respectable rate. I should add that I took four semesters of Spanish in college and also subscribe to Tiempos del Mundo a Spanish-language weekly newsmagazine. At this rate, I figure I should be able to speak Spanish fluently within five years. Hopefully only five years that is.
I was thinking of putting the quote from "Revolution" up...Speaking of Lennon, a conservative talk host in Boston was pointing out how "Imagine" sounds like a plea for one world government, and so on (imagine no countries...imagine no religion, I wonder if you can...imagine no possessions). Of course I remember one of the tongue-in-cheek "Letters _From_
The Editors" in National Lampoon that went like this:
Dear Sirs:
Imagine no possessions. What a terrible, terrible thought.
Yoko Ono
New York City
:)
Wow. The taking things away from you for the common good comment (or it paraphrase) is spooky given the SCOTUS ruling. Not that I needed anything else from Hillary to know she is a revolutionary of the red kind.
>>Translation: We commies don't want to or have to work for a living.
The so-called "worker's party" is really a "non-worker's party" just as Bubba meant "_non-working families_" when he talked of "working families". Welfare to the max.
"Sounds like"? What else would it be?
Lennon himself admitted that he was taking a new strategy with "Imagine". Rather than being loud and in-your-face revolutionary with his music, he'd "sugar-coat" it instead. It seemed rather effective.
I read the lyrics to that song before ever having heard it. It reads a little like a leftist protest march (a la "Give Peace a Chance").
>>"Right now we’re living in relative affluence, but I think there’s going to be a period where there’s economic and political crisis. The economy’s gonna shit the bed sooner or later..."
Wishful thinking for them. They WANT it to happen. It really stinks for them when things go well.
>>It's no secret among their leadership that revolution CANNOT occur as long as there is a strong middle class.
Which is why they want to bring down the middle class and upper class, and have hard working people forfeit much of
their salaries to a big government. The joys of a "classless society".
The funniest part about the "spoof" website Communists for Kerry was...in reality, Commies WERE for him! The best comedy always has a healthy dose of truth in it.
And conservatives are labeled as extremists?
>>It's no secret among their leadership that revolution CANNOT occur as long as there is a strong middle class.
Exactly.
By the way, in some ways "This Land is Your Land" is a great song (the beauty of our land), but how many people know that _avowed Commie_ Woody Guthrie wrote the following verse in that song?
"As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "Private Property"
But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
That side was made for you and me."
(they hate the idea of being able to own property, one of the great concepts of our Republic)
If these kids really wanted to "rebel", they'd all become staunch, died in the wool CONSERRVATIVES. But that would take brains, guts, and work. So instead, these morons playact at being stinking Commies.
Spot on!
bttt
How do they manage to pay the rent? It is quite a pricy area and a lot of fringe business were driven out by high expenses.
At one time, the KGB and the CPUSA used to fund this kind of stuff, but I doubt they still do.
