Very good article by Lois Weiner. certainly opened my eyes about the weak even wet-rag role played by AFT and NEA officialdom in W VA (which lacks public sector collective bargaining, apparently), and she really gets that this is a very deep-rooted militant mass movement, mainly woman-led ...mainly by/based among elementary school teachers.
Breathtaking stuff.

Re: The Robot, Unemployment, and Immigrants
Roberto Savio https://www.facebook.com/robertosavioutopia/?fref=mentions coulda, shoulda, woulda, almost wrote a really important essay. As it is, it's very good but it is under documented, under argued. We're facing a total disruption in work and society because of looming advances in technology (Well, not new of course, we've been talking about this for fifty years). Jobs in retail, hospitality, transport are on the verge of extinction. How politically we respond to this -- basic universal income? job retraining? -- is one of our central challenges.

"During the blacklist years, Seeger scratched out a living by giving guitar and banjo lessons and singing at the small number of summer camps, churches, high schools, colleges, and union halls that were courageous enough to invite the controversial balladeer."
One of those (but which banned off campus publicity) was Reed College in 1954. After that, as McCarthyism began to lose its grip on the nation, he gave another three concerts at the school. Check out that period of his history at

Tommy Smothers was an ace ping pong player. He used to challenge the censors to ping pong games - if he won, he got to have a certain controversial guest on. I can't remember if he used this ploy to get Pete on the show. Does anyone remember when, one evening on the show, Tommy turned to the camera and said, "Folks, there's a beautiful sunset going on right now. I suggest you go outside and take a look. That's just what we're going to do right now. And he and his brother and most of the crew walked off the set to go watch the sunset for a minute. Of dead air. Live. The TV producers were going apoplectic backstage, but it was lovely.

This was a huge moment in the development of the opposition to the Vietnam War. Just 15 days after this courageous performance on prime time national television, with its unmistakable identification of Lyndon Johnson as "the Big Fool" pushing the U.S. deeper into the quagmire of war, voters in the New Hampshire Democratic primary upended the political world by giving antiwar candidate Eugene McCarthy 42% of the presidential vote.
I was watching this in my parents' living room on February 25, 1968, a high school senior a few weeks short of age 18. When Pete finished, I knew I had just witnessed something extraordinary.

Re: The Soul-Crushing Legacy of Billy Graham
I see it being asserted on the web that Billy Graham bailed Martin Luther King out of jail during the civil rights movement. This sounds to me like "fake history." The Billy Graham I remember was largely AWOL during that period. I am sure he would have been welcome at the March on Washington, or the march from Selma to Montgomery, or the funeral of the four young girls killed in the Birmingham church bombing--but he was a no-show, even though many, many ministers, priests, nuns and rabbis marched alongside Dr. King in those years.
When I follow up on the footnotes to these assertions, I find sources that say nothing of the kind. And the assertions say that it happened in 1960, or 1963, or in Albany, Georgia, or in Birmingham, Alabama. Unless Billy Graham was running a bail bond agency on the side, I think it unlikely that this ever happened. I looked at Taylor Branch's monumental trilogy of books about Dr. King and find several references to Billy Graham, but none saying that he bailed Dr. King out of jail.
Could you look into this and see if it is factual, or the beginning of a myth? It seems to me like an effort to posthumously polish the reputation of a man who had the decency, in his later years, to state his regret that he had not done more for civil rights. In the days since his death, it seems that some would like to rewrite history to make him the leader of the civil rights movement

I remember those days. Allende was the first Latin American socialist ever elected president by popular vote in Chile. It was not an armed revolution, it was a free election. The armed struggle came later headed by general Pinochet who murdered and disappeared many Chileans as well as some foreigners and established a dictatorship with the assistance of the CIA .

Re: US Lawmakers Predictably Take Aim at Petro
The entity which imposes sanctions here and there for any but principled human rights reasons is likely in the end to find that it has in effect sanctioned itself, and left space open to its replacement by others. But it's probably too much to expect an empire engaged in ingracious and blustery retreat to realize it.

Re: Will the Venezuelan Masses Still Stand with Maduro at Election Time?
Thanks to Lucas for the article...I am amazed that the Revolution has served with the deck stacked against the Bolivarian revolution. I must repeat what I said last year...the U.S. oil companies development of fracking supported by Obama to flood the world oil market was deliberately aimed at undermining the economies of Venezuela and Russia. It was good to read a clear analysis of what is happening in Venezuela.
Lincoln Smith
Re: Unionism Must Be Internationalist Or It Is Bullshit
The writer states that " Only by opposing the depredations of capital over there can we defend ourselves from the depredations of capital here." He has it backwards. Switch "here" and "there".
The primary weakness in the U.S. is the lack of class consciousness and class struggle. This lack has fostered class collaboration, careerism, reliance on the Democratic Party and a drift to the right. Until working people realize that U.S. capitalists are their enemy, not African American or Hispanic workers or workers in foreign countries, international solidarity is unlikely to increase. Class solidarity begins at home.

Re: Russia Is Trying to Bury This Video—And Might Shut Down YouTube to Do It
Is Portside succumbing to the "Russia-gate" madness by reposting the semi-hysterical Mother Jones article? I hope not. Russia- gate has two sources First, the national security apparatus which is unhappy with Trump's attitude to Russia. Even if only for corrupt motives, Trump seeks normal relations with Russia instead of demonization , thereby depriving the military-industrial complex of a big foreign "enemy" state. Billions of dollars are at stake. Second, the Democratic Party establishment finds it convenient to blame Russia for its pathetic 2016 performance. With Russia-gate explaining everything, there is no need for top Democrats to explain why in 2016 millions of working people, desperate for change, gave up on the Obama and Clinton policies which had done little or nothing to ease their plight.

Today in History - International Women's Day - March 8
Bettman/CORBIS // Rethinking Schools // Exploring Women’s Rights - The 1908 Textile Strike in a 1st-grade Class
International Women's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. It is a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. International Women's Day first emerged from the activities of labour movements at the turn of the twentieth century in North America and across Europe.
Since those early years, International Women's Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international women's movement, which has been strengthened by four global United Nations women's conferences, has helped make the commemoration a rallying point to build support for women's rights and participation in the political and economic arenas.
Chronology
- 1909 The first National Woman's Day was observed in the United States on 28 February. The Socialist Party of America designated this day in honour of the 1908 garment workers' strike in New York, where women protested against working conditions.
- 1910 The Socialist International, meeting in Copenhagen, established a Women's Day, international in character, to honour the movement for women's rights and to build support for achieving universal suffrage for women. The proposal was greeted with unanimous approval by the conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, which included the first three women elected to the Finnish Parliament. No fixed date was selected for the observance.
- 1911 As a result of the Copenhagen initiative, International Women's Day was marked for the first time (19 March) in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, where more than one million women and men attended rallies. In addition to the right to vote and to hold public office, they demanded women's rights to work, to vocational training and to an end to discrimination on the job.
- 1913-1914 International Women's Day also became a mechanism for protesting World War I. As part of the peace movement, Russian women observed their first International Women's Day on the last Sunday in February. Elsewhere in Europe, on or around 8 March of the following year, women held rallies either to protest the war or to express solidarity with other activists.
- 1917 Against the backdrop of the war, women in Russia again chose to protest and strike for "Bread and Peace" on the last Sunday in February (which fell on 8 March on the Gregorian calendar). Four days later, the Czar abdicated and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote.
- 1975 During International Women's Year, the United Nations began celebrating International Women's Day on 8 March.
