People’s World is a communistic propaganda organization:
The People’s World / Mundo Popular is a national, grassroots newspaper and the direct descendant of the Daily Worker. Published by Long View Publishing Co., the PW reports on and analyzes the pressing issues and struggles of the day: for workers’ rights, peace, equality, social and economic justice, democracy, civil liberties, women’s rights, protection of the environment, and more.
The PW is known for its partisan coverage. We take sides – for truth and justice. We are partisan to the working class, racially and nationally oppressed peoples, women, youth, seniors, international solidarity, Marxism and socialism. We enjoy a special relationship with the Communist Party USA, founded in 1919, and publish its news and views.
Since the first issue of the Daily Worker came off the press in 1924, our press has been in the battles of the U.S. working class and people’s movements. From the battles of the unemployed and the campaigns to organize the CIO, through the civil rights and peace movements of the 1960s and ’70s to the struggles that have given us the “new” labor movement, to the people’s upsurge that elected our first African American president, and now the growing movement for a progressive, people’s agenda – we’ve been there.
They seem to really like President Obama and think he is “brilliant“.
They claim opposition to gun control is the covert platform of the Republicans and are opposed to it:
Derail gun control. Pander to the National Rifle Association, white supremacist, and the “cowboy” element of society. Ignore the terror that illegal guns have wreaked in our inner cities.
Private property and capitalism are, of course, also a covert platform plank:
Religiocize Capitalism. Write it into the Constitution. Make private property, profit and exploitation a commandment from God.
When the people advocating a political philosophy responsible for over 100 million dead in the 20th century praises President Obama and is opposed to gun ownership and private property it sort of makes you think, doesn’t it?
Sadly, no, it does not seem to.
I think you meant “is opposed to gun rights and private property.”
Ken,
Fixed.
You are correct. I messed that up.
Thank you!
Anyone who bothered to take more than the most cursory of glances at Obama’s record, or at his lifetime associations, would have known in advance of the election that he was a flaming anti-capitalist. Those who denied it were entirely disingenuous, and those who today act surprised are equally disingenuous. Some of them are the same individuals, and so their disingenuousness has remained constant from then to now.
