[lbo-talk] Occupy's 89%? Where anarchism shuns unionists, it allies with the ultra-right

Recently anarchist collectives in the Occupy movement in Oakland and the Pacific Northwest have put forward a new slogan, "We are the 89%."

^^^^^ CB: If somebody really said "We r the 89%" shame on them. Unity of the 99% is critical, as in workers of the world, unite.

Seems to me the unions shouldn't have broken the law by following the port shutdown, but in the future a port shutdown when the unions are on strike would be the "bomb" (poor choice of words). As one commenter said, there has to be theater here. The unions cannot be shown to be in cahoots with Occupy lest they be thumped under Taft-Hartley ( or Landrum Griffin; repeal Taft-Hartley and Landrum Griffin).So, conflicting rhetoric from Occupy and Unions makes the charade cover.

"_Ultra_-right is too stong.

For left unity ! Lucy Parsons ,anarcho-communist.
