dudzic speaks !



 heres a nice old ethnic fool 

lets see what he's got to say
about the klass struggle
american style  ...




===============================



this gray ghost's
got  his own 
wagery type  party 
" THE labor party"
paid up membership 
  365 
except on leap years 

  a real big chief 
so listen close ....



-----------------------------------------

" 
 some of uz 
 union officers  
and activists 
 came
together to found the Labor Party
in 1996"

------- thiz be
the dudski's own special
 workery hoakery
 co- agitator
co -agulator
    wager it all par par pardee  -------------
 
" we  
were part of
an upsurge 
that also 
swept new leadership 
into the
AFL-CIO, "

------- "the sween team "------------------------
 
"  for
the first time in 15 years 
we seemed on the verge
 of
organizing a million new members a year."

----- we org-ed one milion in 81? ---------------------

 " Fed up with
four years of Clinton administration 
sellouts 
and
betrayals, 
we felt that we would fairly rapidly bring
in the broad labor support
 necessary to become a mass
electoral party."

--------- you got me wid ya dud --------------

" Today, the labor movement 
is under siege and consumed
by internal divisions.

--------right right right -------------

 Its weakness is measured not
only by the lost strikes 
and failed organizing drives
but also by its diminished 
political capacity 
to speak
on behalf of the interests 
of working people." 

---------a -fuckin-men 
                     bro dud --------------

"In some
states and regions, 
more workers identify 
with the
populist social conservatism 
of the Bush/Rove team 
than
with the lunch bucket 
politics of the AFL-CIO."

---------- the truth -----------------

 "That we
have failed to capture 
the hearts and minds 
of these
workers is a disgrace and a shame."

------ stop right fuckin here daddy  
           be4 u done  kill  me
wiff yow nasty  beat ---------------

==============================

------ so far..

butfuck 
after a few more steps forward 
 watch how 
 he done turn dah  wagooooon  
             back toe-woods dah dang same ole  barn ----------

" The debates now raging 
within labor 
about its future
are long past due. 
They need to be about 
more than just
building density 
and allocating jurisdictions. 

-------- okay i'm still wid ya ------------

How do
we begin to build 
an independent politics of labor? 

------- right on question bro -----------

How
do we become 
a real movement again 
that is seen 
to
speak for the vast majority 
of workers both organized
and unorganized? 

How can we build 
real power for
working people?

------- shit 'nough
 wid da dang build ups
izz so pumped 
izz 'bout  ta busticate 

please please   
gib  wid  dah answers daddio-----------


Labor needs its own political party.

------- woopz i miss sumpin here
 izz back in 96 agin ?????????-------------

 The opening lines
of our Electoral Policy say it best: 

"The Labor Party
is unlike any other party 
in the United States.

------ no its not 
its the spittin image 
of  about 10,000
other flea circuses just like it ---------------

 We
stand independent 
of the Democratic and Republican
parties.

------ so do all the other butt end  biters -------

 Our overall strategy 
is for the majority of
American people
--working class people--
to take political
power." 
------------- well ain't that just perfect ------------

And here we must be frank:

 we do not have an
effective Labor Party 
in this country 
because the labor
movement has not met 
the challenge of creating 
and
sustaining one. 
That is the task at hand.

----- ok now for real
this guy says 
the unions need to sponsor a third party
ok now thats worth debating 
to bad he doesn't call his group
the  labor party organizing committee
                   stick with the where we're at stage  ---------


"What Next? 
How we respond
 to the loss of this election
will determine our very survival
 as a movement."

------ which movement 
  the  union movement 
or the labor party 
            for 
an  electoral majority movement ? -------------
 
"There
are some basic steps 
that we need to take now 
to
prepare for the kind 
of bold and visionary independent
political party
 that will have 
the power to build a new
majority of working Americans:"

"1. Abandon the Inside Game. 

We need to embrace the
reality that we stand on the outside,
 confronting
global corporate power"

----- now i don't agree one iota
but if i waz u bro
i'd  say it flat out  
we are a klass against klass society
and the wagery needs 
its own electoral organization
or it will get fleeced again and again and again 
by trusting klass enemy 
oaky doak organzations
like the democratic party  ------

 "There is no chance 
that we will
be called back
 to the table 
to get our piece of the
pie"

----- this can't be 
 what he means to reveal here
in essence 
he's saying
sween andy krumke 
you pie card crap facers
get with the program 
 you ain't got enough to offer
so you izz off the a list 
off the b list
maybe off the z list 
stop waitin for the big invite 
ait ain't comin 
so you might as well 
set up your own party -------------- 

"The sooner we realize this,
 the easier it will be
for us to act 
like a real opposition 
and seek out new
allies and new strategies."

-------- amazingly frank
but why don't it sizzle ? ---------------


"
   2. Promote Clear and Bold Solutions.
 This is no time
for policy wonks.
 Instead of tinkering 
with the
Medicare drug negotiating authority

 we should declare
that

 health care is a right

 Instead of trying to
expand the Pell Grant system

 we should call for 

free higher education."
 
-------- 
  what a dud , dud 
these two for instances 
are 
odd choices 
to start a fire under  a worker movement
 
how about wages hours jobs 
economic  security 
the old  maxes and minz
and 
what the hell about
job site rights 
these are firstandlast items dud
you know that 
unless dunik....
unless ..... 
you izz actually
become 
a  wonk in dork clothing  ----------------

"We need to build a movement
 from the
bottom up 
around clear 
and easily 
understandable
principles"

-----go fer it daddy ---------------

3. Shift Resources.
 The labor movement contributed
massive amounts 
of time, energy and resources 
to the
failed Kerry campaign.
 In four years,
 we will be
expected to contribute 
even more to the next 
Democratic
candidate. 
------------- say it sharp dudzinko 
no more union  cash 
orno more union  volunteers
 feed your self  jack  ass   ---------

We need to learn 
from the example 
of right wing social activists 
and invest in building a real
base around boldly articulated issues

--- ya but they bore from within the elephant
you should be showin'
 why they are not  a good parallel
just like black caucuses within  the jack ass 
aren't a good parallel either 
white worker movements
wil not look like either of those models 
despite their success------ --------

 "If we move our
activists and organizations 
into well-financed
strategic national campaigns 
around issues of concern
to all working people, "

---- like what minimum wage ?-----------


"if we declare our political
independence,
 we can change the national political
landscape."

-------- "independence"
run your own candidates?
 have your own party line in all 50 states 
get fed money
like the reforms and greens did?
to do what
certainly 
you don't mean 
choose between the offered hacks ?
sam gompers took that position 
in 1896
and so did dan tobin in 1948 
before he got slung in the pen ---------

"4. Deepen and Broaden the Debates.
 The future survival
of the labor movement 
concerns all of us. 

---ok but why are
 so many of  we rankers
           apathetic ? ------------

The debate
over that future 
should not be confined 
to the
Executive Council of the AFL-CIO."

-debate confined to executive soviet?
shit the only thing 
that ought to be  confined  
 to those wee wizzlers
  is confinement itself 
prison confinement --------------


Workers need to be
involved 
from the local union level 
on up

-------
   at least say it "mean" 
  will ya  mister nice guy  wind bag ---------
 
We need to
talk about political density
 as well as market density

We need to talk about ways 
of building real power
 for
working people 
that go beyond 
simple technical fixes

------- beyond technical fixes ?
what technical fixes 
we got no fucking technical fixes
shit 
i'd settle for a little fucking 
technical fix 
just fucking get uz some fucking fixes
technical non technical   
fuck with
trying to  swing for the fences
" a US october 17 by 07 " 

how about a simple  cola 
on the minimum wage 
and a cap on daily  hours 
straight time pay  -------------

"5. Act Like a Real Movement."

-----u gotta be a real movement first -------

 "All too often labor is
seen as an interest group 
that is divorced 
from the reality 
of the millions 
of workers and poor people
struggling to earn a living."

--well shit thats what unions are 
and have been since say 1949 -------

" While regular folks 
 might hope for
the wages, benefits and security 
that go with a union job, 
they may not see 
that our struggles are
intertwined with theirs."

------ no dud we don't see that
cause they aren't 
unions are opportunistic parasites -----------

 Whenever we have found ways
 to
make our issues resonate 
with large numbers 
of
unorganized workers,
 we have made advances. 

------- what are u talking about
the wagner act of 1935
the fair labor practices act of 1939

how old are you ?
  "we" haven't 
fucking "resonated " since 1944
 
We must
restore our ability 
to create large-scale social
turmoil
--which is the only
 real source of our power

 ----- wow did you pull a rabbit out of  yer hat

aaaaaamen brother ----------------------


Sometimes a defeat
 can act as a catalyst for change.

The crushing of the Pullman Strike 
over 100 years ago
led unions to reconsider 
how they organized workers 
and
led Eugene Debs
 to organize a new movement 
that broke
with the Democratic and Republican parties

---- wildly bad example 
but a for effort ------------

 The activism unleashed
 by this year's election 
changed many
people's lives.

----- jesus i hate goo goo rah rah
     nothing of the sort happened 
the war in iraq did it --------------

 Fed up with Bush 
and all that he
represents, 
they yearn for a better world.
----- who do
white workers?--------


 We must
speak to those millions 
and build a new politics
 of
hope. 

------ jesus the fucking MLK  mojo
wrong lines wrong movement 
"large scale turmoil"
  that sed itall  bro
after dat
why didn't ya gist 
shut up and sit down 
before ya fell down -----------

We must reach out to 
those who have fallen under
the sway 
of populist conservative demagogues
 and
present them
 with an alternative 
that will make a real
difference 
in their lives. 

------ pure 
handin out of blank form 
sure you got the forms right

but shit we got those forms  
fill in the blanks dudski
we need ya to give us details 
not the damn old  forms that ned fillin ----------
 
We must convince 
those who
have concluded 
that politics is nothing more
 than a corrupt 
rich man's game 
that activism
 can bring real change.

 We must build a Labor Party 
out of the ashes
 of
this election.
of 04 
-------- like 
we did out of the ashes 
of 46  52  72 80  94  -----------------

Don't mourn, organize! "


    ----- organize 
     what?
        the choir ?-------
