To my conservative neighbors
To my conservative neighbors, quit stealing from the far left. To begin with red is the color of socialism and has been for more than two hundred years. The White movement is the counter-revolution or anti-socialism, you already have a color and it is white. During both Red Scares 1919 to 1921 and 1946 to 1965 white was the color of conservatism. Why are Republicans red now?
Next why do some conservatives call themselves libertarian? Libertarian socialists’ pre date today’s libertarians at least two hundred years. A good example of real libertarians would be the Industrial Workers of the World, the Wobblies. Living by the credo an injury to one is an injury to all. Not the cry “all for me “sucker. The poor deserve their poverty. True libertarians advocate the total abolition of the state, capitalism, private ownership of industrial and commercial property to be replaced by collective ownership and control of all manufacturing, work shops, factories, retail outlets and profitable property by employee and community cooperatives. Public democratic ownership and control of said possessions. Based upon complete equality. Without solidarity we have isolation and alienation. With private ownership we have neither equality nor democratic control. With private property of industry we have privilege not freedom and without equality we elitism and liberty. Finally classical liberalism advocates private property and a market with minimal regulations so called “free-market capitalism”. The conservatives steal from the left and change the meanings of the terms into their opposites. But, is this because most conservatives do not have a deep understanding of history? This cannot be. To be conservative is to be grounded and embedded into a deep understanding of history as a personal worldview. If this is correct then conservatives are not conservative but cursory narcissists and the radical socialists are the true conservatives, because history is a lived experience building on the inspiration of past struggles for and even better future. Why?

Affirmative action, multicultural studies, and the on going struggle are back on the agenda. So lets get real.
It is true men put up with a whole lot of crap not because they are men but because there is a whole a lot of crap to deal with.
Women put up with a whole lot of crap because they are women.
It is true white people put up with a whole lot of crap not because they are white but because there is a whole a lot of crap to deal with.
African Americans put up with a whole lot of crap because they are African American.
It is true Anglos put up with a whole lot of crap not because they are Anglos butbecause there is a whole a lot of crap to deal with.
Hispanics put up with a whole lot of crap by being Hispanic.
It is true people of the dominant culture put up with a whole lot of crap not because they are of European roots but because there is a whole a of lot crap to deal with.
American Indians put up with a whole lot of crap being Indian.
It is true heterosexuals put up with a whole lot of crap not because they are straight but because there is a whole a lot of crap to deal with.
Gay. Lesbian, bisexual, transgender really put up with lots of crap think about it, LGBT was illegal in my lifetime.
Jews and Muslims still suffer in the land of the free.
Buddhist and Humanist will let’s not open that can of worms
What of the white working class?
Only through unity, i.e. solidarity with the entire working class male, female, black, brown , white young or old can the issues of class servitude or exploitation be addressed.
There are reasons to have our children learn about our cultures and to make a specialeffort to right the wrongs of the past that are still happening today.
