Happy May Day!

Our crew is by no means a stranger to the labor movement.  As always we encourage everyone to practice random acts of solidarity so that we may achieve a world (to paraphrase Gompers) with more schools and fewer jails; more leisure and less greed; more justice and less revenge. To all the workers of the world, Happy May Day!  

Also, this Saturday, at 2 pm, our own "Associate" (a union shop steward by the way) is going to be broadcasting a special May "Movement Preview" edition of Midwest Plenty Radio!  Check back here for the link!

In Solidarity,

Stay Tuned! For Now...

Stos here. I came across this passage from Emma Goldman's autobiography.  Its the basis for a misquote attributed to her, "if I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution" - but I think the full passage is pretty great: 

"At the dances I was one of the most untiring and gayest. One evening a cousin of Sasha [Alexander Berkman], a young boy, took me aside. With a grave face, as if he were about to announce the death of a dear comrade, he whispered to me that it did not behoove an agitator to dance. Certainly not with such reckless abandon, anyway. It was undignified for one who was on the way to become a force in the anarchist movement. My frivolity would only hurt the Cause.

I grew furious at the impudent interference of the boy. I told him to mind his own business, I was tired of having the Cause constantly thrown into my face. I did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from conventions and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy. I insisted that our Cause could not expect me to become a nun and that the movement should not be turned into a cloister. If it meant that, I did not want it.

"I want freedom, the right to self-expression, everyboy's right to beautiful, radiant things."

Anarchism meant that to me, and I would live it in spite of the whole world--prisons, persecution, everything. Yes, even in spite of the condemnation of my own comrades I would live my beautiful ideal."  

Emphasis mine :)
