Remembering a legendary trade unionist and inspirational leader
Communists in Australia, Britain and the US outlined a joint state agreement against their governments’ militarist provocations.
RECENT weeks have given witness to a decided growth of the Anyone-But-Bernie (ABB) syndrome — the promotion by top Democrats of any candidate remaining in the Democratic primary race whose first name is not “Bernie.”
Perhaps the most obvious examples were the outrages of the recent Iowa caucuses. Apart from the $800,000 anti-Bernie ad campaign by an operative of AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee), the brazen attempt to undermine Sanders’s victory and promote a new ABB champion stands out.
With Biden faltering, though still polling top numbers in Iowa, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) through its Iowa surrogates, manipulated the results to dump Biden and instal a younger, glitzier opponent to the grumpy, stoop-shouldered Sanders.
