New Book by Ayers and Dohrn: "Race Course Against White Supremacy"
2008-10-22
White supremacy and its troubling endurance in American life is debated in these personal essays by two veteran political activists. Arguing that white supremacy has been the dominant political system in the United States since its earliest days—and that it is still very much with us—the discussion points to unexamined bigotry in the criminal justice system, election processes, war policy, and education. The book draws upon the authors' own confrontations with authorities during the Vietnam era, reasserts their belief that racism and war are interwoven issues, and offers personal stories about their lives today as parents, teachers, and reformers.

#14  How can the crew chief of that plane (or whatever the exact name of that guy is) not paint a truck outline under the canopy? Friggin hilarious.

#13  Can some one explain to me why no one has put a bullet in either of their heads? He admitted to the bombings. He has victims of his violence. No one willing to put these enemies down?

#11  Our good doctor must really be irritating people in Chicago with his quest for world domination. I hope these two realize they could be up against the whole AoS this time.

#10  So unless they're the amongst the "whites" overseeing the "supremacy", I assume this is a bad thing?

#9  From Berkeley days:

Dogma is dog sh*t.

#8  Moose, they're just another form of a ruling hierarchy, that intends to keep the power they've accumulated. They understand the dogma was not going to hold in the long run. So like a viable system, it adapts and improvises to continue. It may have carryover ritualistic trappings, but it's just another oligarchy.

#7  At least the Chinese have the intelligence to figure out that IT DOESN'T WORK.

I'd say chineses are still commies, they're just money-making commies. Possibly change will come through riche, but mebbe not, or there will be a fusion between chinese imperialism and communism into some kind of fascism (just an another brand of socialism, really), just as putin is fusing tsarism with communism into the putinism to which all "right"wingers flock to.

#6  Actually, marxism is pretty much opposed to european civilization, that's why it has no trouble at all adaptating to china or africa.

Marxism and before it the earlier flavors of socialism starting with the french révolution and its free-mason/enlightenment/gnostic/whatever ideology actually is a tabula rasa of white european civilization, which goal is ultimately to erase it and replace it with an utopia.

#5  That's cause a 100 million dead in the 20th Century wasn't enough.

Of course the irony is that Marxism is basically a white European political ideology that has repetitively and demonstratively been used to subjugate Africans, Latins, and Asians. At least the Chinese have the intelligence to figure out that IT DOESN'T WORK.

#4  Ayers already did his part against whitey, by having a white girlfriend date-raped by his black buddies, back in the days.

One thing that cracks me up looking back at those commie radicals from the 60's is how racist and anti-white they were, and how that fit so well with international communism's agenda (since the bakou conference of 1922)... and I don't mean just the indians or the blacks or any other nopn-europeans, I mean the lily-white, upper-class whitebread SDC or weathermen, calling to kill whitey, fight along the black liberation army,...

This reminds me of that post by NP!, linking to a GREAT video serie from Evil Youtube (the channel guy is a conspiracy theory fellow, but he's an anti-commie one, my kind of guy, as opposed to the "Capitalism is Evil" Anti-NWO/theosophist crowd) :

"I bought up the subject of what's going to happen after we take over the government. We, we become responsible, then, for administrating, you know, 250 million people.

And there was no answers. No one had given any thought to economics; how are you going to clothe and feed these people.

The only thing that I could get, was that they expected that the Cubans and the North Vietnamese and Chinese and the Russians would all want to occupy different portions of the United States.

They also believed that their immediate responsibility would be to protect against what they called the counter-revolution. And they felt that this counter-revolution could best be guarded against by creating and establishing re-education centers in the southwest, where we would take all the people who needed to be re-educated into the new way of thinking and teach them... how things were going to be.

asked, well, what's going to happen to those people that we can't re-educate; that are die-hard capitalists. And the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further, they estimated that they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these re-education centers. And when I say eliminate, I mean kill. 25 million people.

I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees from Columbia and other well known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people.

And they were dead serious."

Larry Grathwohl, former member of the Weather Underground.
