Openly Communist

The dude's a former Union boss and current Occupy movement organizer and definite communist and he's unabashed about it:

Former Amalgamated Transit Union local 689 president Mike Golash, now an “Occupy” movement organizer, was caught on tape Sunday revealing his political goals: overthrowing capitalism in the United States and instituting a communist government.

“Progressive labor is a revolutionary communist organization,” Golash said during an Occupy DC “People’s Assembly” on August 19.

“Its objective,” he added, “is to make revolution in the United States, overthrow the capitalist system and build communism.”

Golash said he and his comrades are “trying to learn something from the historical revolutions of the past: the Russian revolution, the Chinese revolution, the revolutions in Cuba and Eastern Europe.”

“What can we learn from them so we can build a more successful movement to transform capitalist society?”

They're in your face about it now folks.

H/T to Lex Communis.

“Trade unions are a school of communism.”
-Vladimir Lenin

Either Mr. Golash is ignorant of the results of the communists revolutions he so fondly recalls or chooses to forget the final results of them.

It’s nothing more than yearning for power. As the union ranks shrink, people like Golash try to cling desperately to the last vestiges of their old way of life.

What’s that old saying? “Repeating the same thing and expecting a different result…”

It’s strange how Golash and his ilk don’t just move to those “utopias” he espouses. I mean, if it’s so freakin’ great there…

I mean, people are lined up to get here. Not so much where Golash thinks life is so wonderful. Now why is that?

Lets be honest; this man's comments and the millions in labor unions behind him are a billion times more important and significant then Akin's mis-statement about rape and his belief about abortion. I watch the news and I will bet I see Akin or a story about Akin at least 100 times on TV and never see this communist openly plotting the overthrow of our government.
