(44,333 posts)I'm not going to reply in kind. I'm not going to question your alleged progressive credentials, or your motives for posting here.
What I am going to do is laugh at every personal attack you make.
"Said the guy who probably never marched on May Day in his life unless he was in the "Support Your Local Police" countermarch."
"Yeah right, Sid...like you were EVER on the Left."
"Go ahead...you're just laughing at the truth. Nobody could post like you do here on DU and have any genuine radical feelings about anything. Radicals don't spend more of their time baiting the Left than they do fighting the Right."
The truth is that May Day marches, and International Workers Day rallies have been happening around the world for years. To somehow claim that these are Occupy inspired marches, as many posters in this and other threads have done, is pure nonsense. Posting pictures of a May Day rally in Indonesia, or Tienanmen Square to bolster the argument that the "General Strike" on May 1 was a success is ridiculous.
