[lbo-talk] Re: LA Grocery Strike: Where Was the Left?

[mike larkin]

And, at the risk of getting blasted by the Single
Issers, might I ask why gay marriage is so much more
important an issue than a courageous strike on health
benefits by vulnerable workers?

Where were the celebrity gay rights activists making
high profile appearances on the picket line? Or
contributing to a Strike Fund until it hurts as a way
of building gay/progressive alliances?

Kevin Phillips is right; the social solidarity that
governed the U.S. pre-Reagan is gone, probably
forever, even on the left. "I got my issue, Jack, and
I'm doing fine. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps,
you whiner; I've got a Mumia/Kevin Cooper/Pelletier
rally to go to, so that I can then go home and watch
myself on television."

Hell, the fuckers are probably all guilty anyway.
