Rakesh evokes Kronstadt, Bolshevism, etc.

["michael a. lebowitz" <mlebowit@xxxxxx>]

        

In his
Kronstadt/Bolshevism note, Rakesh says:
1. 'Chavez called on the National Guard to shoot
at the strikers.'
2.'Gindin hoped that Chavez would express support for workers short
of
> nationalization. Chavez seems only
> to have had them shot at.'
3. 'So Chavez had them shot at to
make the union stronger?'

        

3 times.
Must be true. Does Rakesh have any evidence that Chavez called in
the National Guard (and called on them to shoot at the workers!)?
