The CEOs demand iron clad no risk employment contracts, along with golden parachutes, that provide many millions in overcompensation and protection even when they demonstrate total incompetence.

Yet these same so-called "capitalists" will readily criticize and refer to anyone else that wants security, union representation and an employment contract as a so-called communist.

There is major hypocrisy being foisted upon us by the anti-union segment.

Now that the USA has proven that they can correct their past mistakes in this dramatic way.

I believe that we (the slighted people of the world), should see it in our hearts to forgive the 'excesses' of the past 8 years and give this country touched by God himself yesterday, a second chance.

I call on those who have suffered as a result of these 'excesses' from Central America, to Gaza and from the slums of Africa to Pakistan to do the same.

THIS IS NEW BEGINNING LETS GRASP IT.

Fucking beautiful. Yet disgusting that in America, where the Chicago May Day Massacre happened a century ago, millions of the working class are going to march to the polls tomorrow to vote for John McCain, because they've blindly swallowed the fascists' propaganda and think that socialism and anarchism are somehow ideologies of the rich and effete. Such a sad fucking world we live in so shackled by ignorance.

This song is not about Communism. It was not written by Pete Seeger. It is from the Little Red Songbook, the book published for members of the I.W.W. (a syndicalist organization, not connected with the Communist movements in our country or any other) to sing while they picketed factories and mines that were not run for the benefit of those who actually created wealth.

Go learn something.
