RE: JAN. 6 REPORT DOWNPLAYS ROLE OF CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM

I wish people had the courage to put "Christian" in quotation marks in
these articles. Nationalism of any kind by its very nature is
fundamentally UN-Christian. So-called "Christians" need to be called
out at every turn for their un-Christian beliefs.

RE: COVID IN CHINA, THE U.S., AND EVERYTHING IN-BETWEEN

“… We should be very concerned for the people of China. They have
gone from a “zero COVID” policy to a “let it rip” policy. It
is possible that a variant of concern will arise from their disaster.
But the U.S. already has a problem of its own.…”

      =====

I live in Beijing. I've lived here for many years and have not left
China once since the pandemic started. My wife and I have been
vaccinated with Sinovac three times and just recently got over a mild
case of Covid which was about the same as having caught a cold. We
live in a condo development in West Beijing and through contacts we
know that most of our neighbors have gotten Covid although some have
escaped and aside from a few cases of it developing into pneumonia,
especially in those with compromised health, we know of no one who has
died or had even serious complications. 

Ambulances are occasionally seen on the streets and hospitals are even
more crowded than usual (hospitals are always crowded in Beijing) but
we see no evidence in this city that things are anything at all as bad
as portrayed by the author of this article which makes me think this
is just another example of the daily barrage of anti-China propaganda
that  you always read, hear or see in the US corporate-state media
complex. By the way, I often go out very early in the morning to bike
or rollerblade and if the government were trying to sneak around in
the wee hours in the morning to hide something, I have seen absolutely
no evidence of that as well and I pass by a great very many hospitals
at those times,

RE: OLDER WORKERS SHOULDN’T HAVE TO LIVE IN POVERTY

If you have older co-workers, it's likely because they're too poor to
retire, and lack adequate community social support infrastructure.

It’s that time of year when bosses send employees packing. Legally,
they don’t even have to explain why—and usually, they don’t.

RE: DISABLED MINNESOTANS ARE FACING A HOME CARE CRISIS. WORKERS ARE

Home care workers in Minnesota are organized by the American
Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees aka AFSCME.

Local home care workers would benefit from having a union too!

RE: US WORKERS NEED A FEDERAL PAID SICK LEAVE GUARANTEE

(posting on xxxxxx Labor
[[link removed]])

One of the biggest problems for US workers are the power of the
Unions. This, despite the fact that whatever benefits workers have
achieved in the past 100+ years is due to unions and their members.

Many unions only support benefits they have negotiated and attained
for their own members rather than benefits for every worker in every
area of the country and in every line of work. Universal Health Care
is the most obvious problem but "sick leave" along with its lengths,
eligibility, allowed usage, etc. is certainly among those issues that
should not rest with individual unions but benefit all workers whether
a member of the specific union or any union.

This country needs one national activist organization that represents
everyone in its struggles for workers. There are many examples of such
organizations in the country and the world. Think of the ACLU or
Planned Parenthood in the US or Amnesty International and Human Rights
watch internationally. They serve everyone, member or not, who fits
the definitions of the issues and people they represent.

GEORGE SANTOS IS PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL  --  CARTOON AND COMMENTARY
BY DREW SHENEMAN

 

Congressman-elect George Santos, if that’s his real name, won an
upset race in New York’s 3rd Congressional District this past
midterm... or did he.

Seems the truth is a slippery thing around Mr. Santos. His campaign
biography claimed college degrees from schools he didn’t attend and
employment at financial institutions that have never heard of him.
What he calls “embellishing his resume” is actually some form of
immersive cosplay where this dude pretended to be a congressman for so
long it actually happened. How the press only caught on to the fraud
after Santos had been elected to Congress is a whole other can of
worms, for now, let’s focus on George Santos, a rising star in the
Republican Party.

RE: DRAG AND KIDS

(posting on Dispatches From the Culture Wars – January 3, 2023
[[link removed]])

Jeez, folks! Yet another defense from you of humiliating, anti-woman
Drag performances? And for children no less! Are you oblivious to how
many women see this as participating in our oppression and the part it
plays in driving us away from the Left?

Such "gendered presentation” by men mimicking stereotyped aspects of
women’s oppression, like wearing high heels and acting foolishly, is
offensive to most women in the same way that blackface is to Black
people or doing tomahawk chops at ballgames is to Native American
people. Drag doesn’t have to be "overtly sexual" to teach boys that
disrespecting women is “fun entertainment" and let girls know that
they just have to put up with it—not to mention reinforcing the same
male supremacist attitudes and pursuits by adults.

The Right's very public opposition to Drag—and its kindred
transgender doctrine—seems to compel a knee-jerk reaction in the
Left into supporting both. This is harming efforts to organize women
and is even driving some into the arms of the Right because the Left
has abandoned us. How about some consideration and political maturity
where the female sex is concerned.

RE: TELLING AMERICANS TO ‘EAT BETTER’ DOESN’T WORK. WE MUST MAKE
HEALTHIER FOOD 

(posting on xxxxxx Culture
[[link removed]])

The article raises a lot of good points. And there’s no question
that way too many people eat like crap (which of course contributes
directly to healthcare costs spiraling out of control). But
implementing mandates may be a slippery slope - as it could result in
protests, misinformation spread, fistfights in school board meetings,
Dr Google Trolls who act like they suddenly have PhD’s in Nutrition,
etc. We need to somehow develop a culture of education and prevention
so that people are intrinsically motivated to eat better.

The Roots of American Fascism

by Bill Scheuerman and Sid Plotkin

January 3, 2023

Texas Governor Greg Abbot’s Christmas Eve political stunt of sending
busloads of desperate immigrants, including women and children, to
Vice President Harris’ home in Washington is another sign that
Trumpism exists without Trump. To many modern-day pundits, the
wide-spread acceptance of Trumpism suggests that the seeds of fascism
are already taking root in America as countless Republican politicians
now openly espouse Trump’s authoritarian program of
hyper-nationalism, lawlessness, racism, sexism, macho calls for
violence and, of course, the use of force to maintain power.
Understanding how the Trumpist brand of fascism has become an
acceptable part of American politics is essential to reversing its
spread.

If, as Marx observed, traditions of past generations weigh on the
brains of the living, then the roots of American fascism are part of
its historical DNA. Trumpism yearns for a return to the good old days
of a white, male, Christian America, marked by the genocide of Native
Americans, the enslavement of Africans, the denigration of waves of
immigrants, Jim Crow, the lynching of thousands of blacks, misogyny,
antisemitism, and homophobia. Rather than view this history with
shame, Donald Trump gave Americans permission to celebrate it. The
question is: why do so many Americans accept his invitation?

The globalization of American capitalism and the successful war on
organized labor treats working class people as disposable parts. Plant
closings, outsourcing, and the loss of decent paying union jobs have
created record levels of economic inequality. While the super-rich
ride their private multi-billion-dollar rocket ships into outer space,
forty percent of American adults don’t have $400 in the bank to pay
for an emergency. Structural changes in the economy as witnessed by
the rise of the service and gig economies place increasing pressures
on American workers, many of whom survive by working multiple jobs
without benefits or job security. 

The decline of unions leaves most workers institutionally naked with
no major institution to represent their economic or political
interests. Lacking the institutional backing of organized labor, it
becomes a case of “every man for himself” as class consciousness
evaporates, and isolated and aggrieved individuals try to understand
their plight. That's when contemporary snake oil salesmen in the form
of cable news companies step up to fill the void with racist vitriol
that feeds upon the aggrieves feeling of victimization. Energized by
the lies, many of the aggrieved heed the call of their Great Leader by
wrapping themselves in the second amendment to reclaim their manhood
and power.

Egalitarian democracy in the United States must face up to what it now
confronts: a strident, violent movement aimed at restoring the
Jacksonian vintage of white man’s democracy. Rather than addressing
the issues raised by our racist past, Trumpism prefers to rewrite that
part of our history. Consider their spurious attacks on teaching
American history by calling it critical race theory, a strawman
created to stir up the Republican base, or the book bannings taking
place in red states throughout the United States.

Acknowledging America’s racist past is essential for curbing the
rise of fascism, but creating policies that address our country’s
alarming level of economic inequality is just as essential. Aside from
advocating tax cuts for the rich and powerful and for squelching gun
safety laws, Trumpism has little interest in public policy. If good
paying, secure jobs provide buffers against fascism, changes in tax
laws that encourage plant closings and overseas investments are
crucial, as are labor law reforms to facilitate organizing and
strengthening unions. So long as Republicans and Democrats alike
continue to feed at the corporate trough, these reforms are unlikely
even when faced with the possibility of a full-blown fascist state
replacing our constitutional government.

AN OPEN LETTER TO YOUNG UNION ORGANIZERS

By Timothy Sheard

January 2, 2023

Work-Bites
[[link removed]]

Young union leaders bringing the fight to the bosses at Starbucks,
Amazon, Chipotle, REI and other bastions of corporate power across the
country are inspiring millions and breathing new fire into the labor
movement.

They’re meeting in parks and pubs, in backyards and union halls,
highlighting the many benefits that come with unionizing: better pay,
job security, reasonable shift allocation, health benefits —and most
important of all — respect on the job.

While these arguments for signing union pledge cards address vital
issues, young union leaders may be in danger of falling into the same
trap legacy unions fell into in the 50’s and 60’s ─ letting the
bosses control the social order narrative.

We’ve all heard that narrative. It goes like this: A bold,
innovative entrepreneur borrows money from investors and builds a new
corporate entity. When the company turns a profit, the CEO and the
investors reap all the rewards and rightfully become rich.

The workers, meanwhile, who toiled to produce all that wealth in the
form of products and services are paid a wage that the bosses call a
“cost.” In this narrative, workers are simply debits in the loss
columns that cut into the company’s profit margin — and nothing
more.

But workers are not “costs.” They are disenfranchised investors
— as deserving of a share of the company profits as any CEO or
financial investor. Perhaps even more deserving.

Consider workers who toil for 25-30 years for a company. At the end of
their work lives they retire, if they are healthy enough to have
survived. During those working years, they provided institutional
knowledge that was critical to the running of the company. They
trained new hires and solved immediate problems on the shop floor.
They invested their _lives_ in the company.

But the corporate class writes the rules of business, so they
mis-classify workers as “costs” rather than as “investors.”
And at the same time the bosses are paying off the political class to
write laws codifying the company’s right to further disenfranchise
workers, they steal from the public by under-paying or not paying
taxes. These companies utilize public services — from paving and
lighting the streets, providing fire and police protection, and health
inspectors for food — but too often duck paying their fair share of
the taxes that pay for it all.

What’s more, the bosses consistently overcharge consumers. Even
though they could sell their products or services at a lower cost and
still turn a reasonable profit, they insist on high prices. Maximizing
profit is their core philosophy. When consumer demand is high, they
_raise_ prices higher, even if their costs have not changed. If
companies are awash in profits, they never provide financial relief to
customers who are pinching pennies trying to cover the cost of food,
medicine, rent, and the like.

Young union leaders need to deliver the message to rank and file
workers that they are investors deserving a cut of the profits, and
bosses are crooks. Delivering this message will raise worker awareness
and heighten their commitment to fighting for their fair share of the
pie. By finally realizing they are investors, workers will soon demand
their place on the board of directors and have an real voice in how
the company is run from then on.

Maybe one day they will even own the company.

COME WORK WITH RAILROAD WORKERS UNITED

 

_[Letter to 500 Labor Historians
[[link removed]],
signatories to the Open Letter to Joe Biden in support of the demands
of Railroad Workers United]_

At this juncture in history, railroad rank & file workers have a
unique opportunity right now, with greater visibility of our working
conditions and struggles against rail carrier management in the wake
of our recent contract battle.

To bolster the reach and effectiveness of our campaigns - particularly
our campaign in support of public ownership of rail, and the campaign
work we will begin in 2023 to prepare (early and aggressively) for our
next contract negotiations in two years, our hope is to partner with
academics and students studying rail from a worker-led perspective, or
those studying labor and rank n' file labor organizing more generally.

We have some new, if limited, financial capacity to hire a student or
two this year. One position would resemble a "student hourly" position
that typically occurs within a university. This would be a limited
number of hours per week to help us with the day to day administrative
needs of the organization (membership processing, database work,
membership communications, miscellaneous administrative tasks). While
this is not glamorous work, it is still the crucial work of labor
organizing and would expose a student to the inner workings of a labor
union caucus, and the issues and struggles of working railroaders.

Another position we envision would be tailored for an advanced
undergrad or graduate student with research interests related to rail
nationalization, public ownership of infrastructure, and/or labor
organizing who would help us with our campaign for public ownership of
rail. This would be a cross between a researcher and organizer for the
campaign who would work closely with our members - all of whom are
working railroaders - leading that work.

We'd be grateful for any feedback from academics regarding how to
structure this work, so it is beneficial to students and
non-exploitative. While we aren't experts, we know that there are
opportunities within academic institutions for things like "capstone"
projects in courses, and internships for credit.

We're also curious to learn more about how graduate research
assistantships and postdoctoral research projects are formed and
articulated within universities and if the grants and funding streams
that support these types of positions ever allow for partnership or
collaboration with an organization outside of the university — a
union caucus like ours, for example. We don't know if this is
possible, but we do appreciate that universities house individuals
that see, understand, and have the expertise and capacity to study
labor struggles like ours and we would be enthusiastic partners in
this work.

If you think there is a possibility of us working together in a
capacity as outlined above (or otherwise), please do not hesitate to
contact us with any questions you may have. We look forward to working
together in the coming months and years!

In solidarity,

Ron Kaminkow, RWU Organizer

JAN 6TH JUSTICE: OUR FREEDOMS, OUR VOTE  --  NATIONWIDE EVENTS

 

Jan 6 Justice: Our Freedoms, Our Vote!

On January 6, 2023, THE NOT ABOVE THE LAW AND DECLARATION FOR
AMERICAN DEMOCRACY COALITIONS ARE PARTNERING TO HOLD NATIONWIDE
ACTIONS ON THE SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF THE VIOLENT ATTACK ON OUR
CAPITOL. 

We know that even though some of the most prominent election
conspiracists lost their midterms, they are already looking to 2024
for ways to overturn the will of voters.

They are working to sabotage future elections by changing state laws,
threatening election officials and packing election administration
offices so that they can have the final say over election results even
when they lose.

They are willing to do so in order to put people in power who want to
take away our freedoms, whether it is our reproductive rights, our
social security, our Medicare, or our ability to access affordable
higher education, address the climate crisis or prevent gun
violence.  They are also working to ensure that the people of
Washington DC continue to lack representation and a voice in our
democracy.

Meanwhile, they are launching sham investigations in the House of
Representatives, while the need for real investigations into the
criminal actions surrounding January 6 continue.

WE CANNOT BE COMPLACENT; TOGETHER ON JANUARY 6TH, WE WILL MOBILIZE TO
BOTH OBSERVE THE JANUARY 6TH ATTACKS AND LAUNCH INTO THE NEXT PHASE IN
OUR WORK: 

Passing local, state, and federal legislation to protect our freedoms

Pushing back against the potential sham investigations the new
congress is planning

Uplifting the findings of real critical investigations like the Jan
6th investigation

We need all hands on deck to make this January 6th national day of
action as big as possible.
