Unzip and Attack posted:Had a lecturer (Eric Foner)at my University a couple years back tell that same story about Lincoln and the duel, except that he said he chose wood axes. Either way it's still next level poo poo. Jacobin has a lovely rep on these forums but they published a fantastic interview with Foner in their Civil War + Reconstruction issue.

fishmech is correct about bombs. Weatherman, the PIRA, UDA, UVF, etc all had spectacular own goals with bombs in the latter half of the twentieth century.

fishmech posted:It would most significantly diminish voting power in rural areas that have population jumped up by having prisons though. Having 40,000 people locked up in your county's borders can and does lead to districts being drawable with far more rural voters, on the strength of having locked up a bunch of people who can't vote. If only some Compromise could be reached.

Fried Chicken posted:good post Here's an in-depth essay on Cesar Chavez's different legacies as both a Civil Rights leader and a labor leader, and how posterity has more or less remembered him strictly as a civil rights figure. I think there's a lot to the idea that people don't have any narrative attached to labor struggle where they do for Civil Rights (through the personages of King, Malcolm X, Chavez) and they do for entrepreneurship (people fapping to Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg, etc.). In my view, the long term strategy for working class organizing has to start with electable Dems who will maintain a more liberal NLRB, and an introduction of labor struggle into the public consciousness, some better way to propagandize. And I think a healthy dose of denigrating robber barons like Jobs could help undermine the worship of business leaders.

Real story here is that O'Mentum doubled his support. Luigi Thirty posted:Remember the story of the woman in Detroit who whipped out her pistol and shot at a shoplifter's car in the parking lot as it drove away? She just got sentenced to 18 months probation. The lesson she took away from this was "never help anybody." She will not be able to concealed carry until 2023. Who will be the first to feature her in a campaign ad? GalacticAcid fucked around with this message at 14:05 on Dec 14, 2015 |
