The Marxist Left Riots Again

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

As typical throughout their history Marxists have to use force and violence to try and intimidate people into adopting their agenda because no sane individual would ever go along with it.

A riot broke out on the streets of Seattle on Friday night as anti-capitalist protesters smashed windows, lit fires and attacked police officers.

Demonstrators had been marching through the city in support of workers' and immigrants' rights, but started throwing rocks and smashing windows around 7pm, police said.

The violence was centered on the Capitol Hill area of the Washington city, where authorities warned residents and businesses to take cover from a hail of bricks and stones thrown by violent thugs.

Where do you get "Marxists" out of this?

 

[Nutz]

They are going to do it again tonight...in multiple cities.

The ones who were 'protesting' were indeed marxist and socialists. They had booths set up in NY, Philly, and Baltimore last night.

"May Day", aside from being the ancient European religious festival of Beltane and other names, has been marked as "International Workers Day" for well over a century. If anything it's a populist theme, dating from a worker uprising of 1882:

The Haymarket affair (also known as the Haymarket massacre or Haymarket riot) was the aftermath of a bombing that took place at a labor demonstration on Tuesday May 4, 1886, at Haymarket Square[2] in Chicago. It began as a peaceful rally in support of workers striking for an eight-hour day and in reaction to the killing of several workers the previous day by the police. An unknown person threw a dynamite bomb at police as they acted to disperse the public meeting. The bomb blast and ensuing gunfire resulted in the deaths of seven police officers and at least four civilians; scores of others were wounded.

In the internationally publicized legal proceedings that followed, eight anarchists were convicted of conspiracy. The evidence was that one of the defendants may have built the bomb, but none of those on trial had thrown it.[3][4][5][6] Seven were sentenced to death and one to a term of 15 years in prison. The death sentences of two of the defendants were commuted by Illinois governor Richard J. Oglesby to terms of life in prison, and another committed suicide in jail rather than face the gallows. The other four were hanged on November 11, 1887. In 1893, Illinois' new governor John Peter Altgeld pardoned the remaining defendants and criticized the trial.

The Haymarket affair is generally considered significant as the origin of international May Day observances for workers.[7][8] The site of the incident was designated a Chicago Landmark in 1992,[9] and a public sculpture was dedicated there in 2004. In addition, the Haymarket Martyrs' Monument at the defendants' burial site in nearby Forest Park was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1997.[10]

"No single event has influenced the history of labor in Illinois, the United States, and even the world, more than the Chicago Haymarket Affair. It began with a rally on May 4, 1886, but the consequences are still being felt today. Although the rally is included in American history textbooks, very few present the event accurately or point out its significance," according to labor studies professor William J. Adelman.[11]

​

In the 19th century with unbridled and unrestrained robber-baron capitalism exploiting workers with extreme working hours, child labor and little regard to working conditions or safety, with hired thugs waging small-scale slaughter on workers who dared stand up for their own rights, strikes, demonstrations and eventually riots became commonplace. This is the messy side of democratic discourse, and is the entire reason we ever came up with things we now take for granted a 40-hour work week, child labor laws and any attention at all to safety in the workplace. That's where May Day comes from. It wasn't going to happen without a struggle.

Not that all that applies to the present goings-on in Seattle, but some may think it does, and like Haymarket, there are always destructive elements in any demonstration that will seek to convert orderly demonstration to chaos.

Figures a dimwit governor would pardon the Marxist bombers.

Again, same question as posed to the OP:
--- Where do you get "Marxists" out of this?

I expect I'll get the same answer....

So what do you propose we do about it coward? You already express your hatred of cops. You pose as a wannabe mma fighter. So go pick up a shield and stop the riot....or stop whining.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Where do you get "Marxists" out of this?

Is there another name for anti-capitalist?

 

[AmericanFirst]

Where do you get "Marxists" out of this?

Is there another name for anti-capitalist?

Yeah, liberal.

 

[Pogo]

Yeah, liberal.

Actually Liberalism invented captialism but thanks for playin'.

Nothing in the article indicated or quoted anything about "Marxism". To suggest that economic existence is black-and-white either capitalist or Marxist would be beneath you.

I already suggested such a term, "populist".

I've never run "religious scriptures", here or anywhere else. And I'm not a "far leftist"; I'm a Liberal.
All of which I have no doubt your understanding of approaches that of your understanding of Canada.

--- Eh?

 

[bucs90]

Capitalism and Marxism and Communism all will have poverty because all men arent equal. Humans will always have more or less of whatever resource is prized. Food. Money. Women. Jewels. Water.

Difference is...capitalism offers everyone the OPPORTUNITY to decide if they are gonna be rich or poor. The others assign it.

That's OK, the OP couldn't think of one either.
