Here’s video of a communist woman who was interviewed on her way to the protest in Madison, WI. She was there to hand out literature calling for a communist revolution.
A liberal blogging troll accused Donald Douglas of making things up, and denied that any communists were present. As if the video above isn’t proof enough.
So I thought I’d look into the group this woman associates herself with, The Revolutionary Communist Party USA. They’re quite happy about the Wisconsin protests.
As we go to press, Wisconsin state employees, along with students and supporters from around the state are protesting inside and outside the state capitol building in Madison. Tens of thousand of students, teachers, health workers, public service union members and supporters have been part of the protests—sparked by a plan by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker to double health insurance costs for public workers and restrict their collective bargaining rights to only the issue of wages.
That piece went on to bash tea parties as “reactionary.”
Further, the situation in Wisconsin is exactly the sort of situation they exploit as they prepare for revolution.
But the possibility of revolution will never really ripen unless those who recognize the need for revolution are preparing the ground for this politically and ideologically even now: working to influence the thinking of people in a revolutionary direction, organizing them into the struggle against this system, and winning growing numbers to become actively involved in building the movement for revolution. This is what our Party is all about, and what we mean when we say we are “hastening while awaiting” the changes that make revolution possible. This is the key to breaking through the situation where there are not yet the necessary conditions and forces to make revolution, but those conditions and forces will never be brought into being by just waiting for them to appear.
All along the way, both in more “normal times” and especially in times of sharp breaks with the “normal routine,” it is necessary to be working consistently to accumulate forces—to prepare minds and organize people in growing numbers—for revolution, among all those who can be rallied to the revolutionary cause. Among the millions and millions who catch hell in the hardest ways every day under this system. But also among many others who may not, on a daily basis, feel the hardest edge of this system’s oppression but are demeaned and degraded, are alienated and often outraged, by what this system does, the relations among people it promotes and enforces, the brutality this embodies.
Does the blogging troll who bashed Prof. Douglas honestly believe that the revolutionary communists aren’t ideological allies with the protesters in Wisconsin?
Update: Donald Douglas linked in a new post. The post the troll took issue with included a different video, featuring different communists, from the Wisconsin protests. So it goes to show that the communist activity wasn’t just limited to these two people. Oh, and the troll responded in the comments below. I’m starting to wonder if he’s a real person, or one of the fake internet people invented by the government.

That lady had on some really nice glasses.
Wanna bet they are the product of a free capitalist society?
Wanna bet she has a spare pair (or more) at home?
You DON’T get that with communism.
Can you say useful idiot? I knew you could.

Around 1920, the Communist Party USA, which was afiliated with the Comintern in Russia, wrote to the IWW aligning itself with the Industrial Workers of the World which originated in Chicago.

If you actually went to his blog, that “liberal troll” actually pointed out where Donald lied–He claimed the woman said something she did not say–and never claimed that no communists were present. (Perhaps one could count that as another lie from Donald.)
American Niiiiihilist: Donald Wets Himself In Fear Of “Cooooomunists!!!”
1) “Now first off, the lady never ‘speaks about how ‘all of our members’ are up every morning organizing for the dictatorship of the proletariat.’ Watch the video as many times as you need to… She neither uses those words or expresses that sentiment. As so often happens, Donald Douglas is lying, and hoping his readership is too stupid to notice…”
2) “Let’s be clear. There are communists here in America. And yes, there are some Socialists, like the pair in the propaganda video. There are probably a few Stalinists, even.”
Does the blogging troll who bashed Prof. Douglas honestly believe that the revolutionary communists aren’t ideological allies with the protesters in Wisconsin?
The “blogging troll” believes that the revolutionary communists have their own reasons for supporting the union folks… but that supporting unions is not inherently a communist act, even if communists happen to believe it’ll “bring about the glorious revolution,” or whatever. There are a whole lot of good and loyal capitalists who are union members or supporters, as well, and in all the years of union work here in the US, the vast majority of us are still “capitalist swine,” which tells me that the revolutionary communists (and those on the right who seem to think the country is one union shop away from Marxism) are dead wrong.
I appreciate your asking.

Hi Casper, I would have linked to your post, but I heard you’re a stalker, so I didn’t. The video above isn’t the only video showing Marxists at these protests, as you know, since the video you reference features different Marxists, with a table full of revolutionary propaganda. But hey, I guess we’re all just imagining things.

He is a stalker, Lonely C. I give him too much attention as it is, but hey, he previously sponsored a campaign of workplace harrassment, so it’s difficult to ignore these thugs. REPSAC = CASPER = PROGRESSIVE THUG.
P.S. He cut and pasted his comment from his blog to yours, so he’s spammer as well as a stalker. Freakin’ asshat.

I’m sorry, Lonely, but you seem to be trying to prove something that isn’t in dispute. Did you not see where I said in my initial post (& quoted here) that there are communists/Marxists/socialists here in America, and in WI specifically? You’re kinda misstating my argument in both of the posts where you discuss what I’m alleged to’ve said. (And I trust that it isn’t “trolling” to respond to a post where you’ve made me the subject.)
If you folks really tried, you could probably record and post videos of what, 50-75 representatives of c/M/s groups and organizations handing out flyers in Madison. But in proportion to the number of people there in favor of union rights, those are still pretty small numbers. The majority, by like 1000 to 1, are capitalists and members of one or the other of the two major political parties here in the US (admittedly Democrats, for the most part.)
I can appreciate your concerns regarding the stalker bit–your friend Donald paints quite the picture, and if one actually trusts him, I can see where one might be wary… But if you’re going to discuss what someone says or believes, you probably ought to quote them actually expressing it, so that you don’t accidentally misstate their position in your description. (And for the record, I’m pretty certain that the definition of “troll” does not include responding to someone’s post on one’s own blog… or that “spammer” includes repeating a comment one makes at a blog run by someone else on one’s own blog, either.)
