Re: marxism lesson in 30 seconds

The below from Mr. Meyers is self-serving and ignorant. Mr.
Meyers needs to know a little bit more about what unions
have, and have not, accomplished historically, and that sell-outs
witch hunts, purges and all.

The "Night of the Living Dead"  youth culture, weatherunderground
rerun endorsed by Mr. Meyers is about as relevant and
inciteful as Duncan's Olduvai Gorge theories.  And at core,
just as thoroughly conservative, regressive, reactionary.
