Look what we found in the archives...

A small United Farm Workers (UFW) banner!

The UFW was founded in 1962 by Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, and other labor leaders. The flag was designed by Richard Chavez, Cesar’s brother. Remarking on the flag, Cesar Chavez stated, “A symbol is an important thing. That is why we chose an Aztec eagle. It gives pride. When people see it they know it means dignity.”

This item was found during a year-long survey that the Kheel Center is conducting to better document and describe our collections.

2002 The Work of Dance: Labor, Movement, and Identity in the 1930s Mark Franko. Wesleyan $30 +shipping. In VG condition. Previous bookstore sticker on back cover as shown.📚🕺👷‍♀️ ”In this insightful new book, Mark Franko explores the many genres of theatrical dancing during the radical decade of the 1930s and their relationship to labor movements, including Fordist and unionist organizational structures, the administrative structures of the Federal Dance and Theatre Project, the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, and the Communist Party. Franko shows how the structures of labor organization were reproduced and acted out but also profoundly reasoned through in corporeal terms by choreography and performance of the proletarian mass dance, the chorus line of the Ziegfeld Follies and the reflexive backstage musical film, Martha Graham s modern dance, the revolutionary dance movement of the proletarian avant-garde, African-American ethnic opera-ballet, and Lincoln Kirstein s American ballet. The contributions of many important personalities of American theatrical, visual and literary culture are included in this study. Franko's focus extends from the direct impact of performances on audiences to the reviewing, reporting and photography of print journalism." #lgbt #labormovement #1930s #ziegfeldfollies #labororganizing #socialism #bookworm #sociology #bibliophile #bookaneer #bookstagram #dance #choreography #communistparty #cpusa #greatdepression #depressionera #ballet #bookaneer4sale #laborunion #genderidentity #femenism (at Dodge Center, Minnesota)

A bunch of Americans are on a Syrian regime-sponsored propaganda tour of Damascus. They include the usual suspects—Max Blumenthal, Rania Khalek, Anya Parampil, Ajamu Baraka. The photos are posted by a woman named Yasemin. Can someone help identify the rest?

These people are literally trampling over graves. Look at this photo that Rania Khalek has posted, inviting people to admire the view. Saydnaya of course is the site of Assad's most notorious prison where at least 13,000 civilians were executed during the uprising.

If you want to understand why this is so hideous, read this @amnesty report on Saydnaya.

Saydnaya, Inside a Syrian Torture PrisonFor the first time ever you can see inside Saydnaya, one of the world’s most terrifying prisons.https://saydnaya.amnesty.org/en/saydnaya.html

 This Orwellian inversion of reality is so crude that it'd be comical if the subject weren't so tragic. Here Blumenthal stands before a poster of Al Kuwa Al Jaafaria—an Iranian-backed sectarian militia—& claims it shows Syrian soldiers who died fighting "foreign backed extremists"

Here Blumenthal dogwhistles Islamophobia to play up the regime's Islamists vs. Christian trope but seems unaware that years before Jaish al-Islam was formed, the building he is pointing to was used by regime snipers to kill over 30 peaceful protesters.

mentions Here is a video of unarmed protestors being shot at from the same building in 2011, long before Jaish al-Islam even existed. (Please see the video at the end of this thread. EY)

Some more members of the vulture tour identified. They are Paul Larudee, Rick Sterling, and Judith Bello. Larudee had siphoned money to Dennis Kucinich in 2017 to attend a pro-Assad gathering in the UK. Rick Sterling is member of the shady "Syria Solidarity Movement".

Here is a report on Larudee paying Dennis Kucinich money to speak at a pro-regime event in the UK, which the latter had to return during his failed bid for Governor of Ohio

Amended ethics filing shows Dennis Kucinich was paid $20k by pro-Syrian government groupKucinich initially did not disclose who paid him to give speeches in 2017.https://www.cleveland.com/open/2018/04/amended_ethics_filing_shows_de.html

Here @N_Waters89 has geolocated @RaniaKhalek’s position, who has kept the Saydnaya slaughterhouse, where tens of thousands were murdered, just out of her “breathtaking view”

Also note that the regime's approach to courting useful idiots is syncretic. Before the "anti-imperialist" solidarity mission, the regime hosted a far-right, identitarian, euro-fascist delegation.

The central figure in this vulture tour is Yasemin Zahra (@LaborOrganizer), who works for @mceanea and @uslaboragainstwar. It's hard to tell from her chirpy, tone deaf tweets from the site of a mass crime whether she's inordinately stupid or profoundly evil.

Advancements of women in #Nicaragua are INCREDIBLE.

— Throughout grade school students must take a class called “Dignity & Rights of Women”

— All gov’t offices must be split 50-50 between men and women

This is the socialist Sandinista government the U.S. wants to destabilize. https://twitter.com/LaborOrganizer/status/1457059224794578949?s=20

What I’m about

I’m all about making a revolution that will take us beyond capitalism. Making revolution is risky but if it means an end to the exploitation of people by other people than it’s just the risk you run pursuing the depths of love.

This tumblr is a place for me to play with new ideas, get feedback from comrades, and hopefully inspire some folks to help make revolution. Like every other person with a beating heart I’m trying to change society so we can keep living on this planet. But as a socialist I know we have to struggle with each other to end white-chauvinist, male-supremacist, and queer-hating thinking or we won’t achieve our birthright or see our promised land... a world economic system built on solidarity.

Follow me for practical and theoretical thoughts on #classstruggle #romance #ecology #ecologicalliteracy #leftunity #laborunions #organizing #labororganizing #scifi #socalism #marxism #antiracism #marx #poetry #mao #lenin #moreromance #militantclassstruggle and other stuff related to how we’re gonna make revolution that ends the rat race and eradicates this system of haves and have-nots.

He called himself first and foremost a worker and a union member, especially as a union activist in San Francisco. He is credited with revolutionizing occupational folklore and winning Congressional support for passage of a bill that established the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.

The cover is displayed above. See Collection 5189 Labor Songbooks for various editions of "Little Red Songbooks" that we have in our collections.

Mother Jones

This quote perfectly exemplifies Mother Jones, a fierce and forceful labor activist who was dubbed "the most dangerous woman in America" by a US district attorney.
