Individual liberty anywhere is a threat to the Progressive-Collectivist Cause everywhere.
While several unions and a multitude of Marxist groups are involved in the Wisconsin and other state capitol protests, the lead organization is undoubtedly America’s huge public sector union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).(from noisyroom.net)
While ostensibly about preserving public sector union collective bargaining ‘rights,’ the protests are really a confrontation of values.AFSCME wants to preserve and expand union power in an increasingly government dominated economy.
AFSCME is confronting several, mainly ‘Tea Party’ backed, state governors who want to roll back the power of the unions, in order to save their states from bankruptcy, strengthen the private sector and restore free enterprise and economic growth.
This essentially a battle between certain socialism and the possibility of freedom.
Am I exaggerating? Where is my proof that AFSCME has a socialist agenda?The proof lies in AFCSME’s leadership – much of which is allied to the U.S.’ largest Marxist organization Democratic Socialists of America.
