Commies are never spontaneous

The Weathermen Ride Again
2010 OWS practice sessions




The Coast Guard in Boston confirmed that a woman in uniform was harassed and spat upon near Occupy Boston protesters.

The woman was walking to the train and said protesters spit on her twice, called her foul names and even threw a water bottle at her. [Coast Guard member spit on near Occupy Boston tents]

BUT WAIT!

Sigh

Whilst looking for a suitable picture of maggot-infested-hippies for illustration, I stumbled across this Occupy Boston poster.
From March. 
Here's some of the accompanying lingo.
From May 2010

LATAZ! – RTS in Allston last night

•May 2, 2010


Tonight, may day, is international workers day – a day celebrating a radical past, a day celebrating a radical future. It is also a day acting in solidarity with comrades and against the many racist, fascist, fucked up things happening everyday by those in power. It is a day against authority – a day for us.

There are endless reasons for being against authority. For example, in Arizona the fascist law SB1070 was past not more than a week ago. Because of this police can stop people based on how they look and ask for you “to show your papers.” That’s some fucked up Nazi shit. In lower Allston, over the past couple of weeks, there has been an increase in police patrols, targeting people of color. In the meantime Harvard and business are moving into the area, beginning the process if making it more expensive to live, forcing people elsewhere.

A couple of days ago, a support and solidarity caravan to the autonomous municipality of San Juan Copala, Oaxaca was attacked by state paramilitaries. This night is for you all as well. Stay strong – fight back.

Tonight will not change anything. Tonight is meant to celebrate what we have. Tonight is meant to show the possibility of another world.

No racist laws!
No racist police!
Towards an autonomous society!

So much for a spontaneous  OWS movement.  So much for the governing ideology behind OWS.
