40 Years Victory in Vietnam; Happy May Day!

by Register Peace & Freedom or Green
On April 30, 1975, the eve of May Day also known as International Workers Day, the “little people in black pajamas” as Malcolm X described the Vietnamese freedom fighters, defeated the mightiest, most barbaric war machine the world had seen since Nazi Germany, namely Nazi USA’s military. The worldwide peace movement was literally dancing in the streets as we received the news on radio and TV, from Berkeley, California to everywhere else in the world.
On April 30, 1975, the eve of May Day also known as International Workers Day, the “little people in black pajamas” as Malcolm X described the Vietnamese freedom fighters, defeated the mightiest, most barbaric war machine the world had seen since Nazi Germany, namely Nazi USA’s military. The worldwide peace movement was literally dancing in the streets as we received the news on radio and TV, from Berkeley, California to everywhere else in the world.

The victory came with a terrible price, namely the loss of life of 4 million Vietnamese, 1 million Cambodians, 58,000 Americans and thousands of other people. The constant daily reminder of the American War against Vietnam is the presence of Agent Orange, a defoliant chemical that was sprayed to destroy the jungles to supposedly expose the Vietnamese liberation fighters who were actually most of the Vietnamese people, and to destroy the crops of Vietnam. It has caused serious deformities to generations of Vietnamese, numbering in the millions of people. It has also caused the same problems to the children of American veterans. This heinous war crime and all the other war crimes perpetrated against Vietnam, were done by Democratic and Republican administrations and their Democrat-Republicans Congressional allies from 1954 to 1975.

US imperialism under a Democratic administration, with 100% approval from Democrats and Republicans, has now proudly installed a Nazi government in Ukraine which is doing everything it can to oppose the 70th anniversary celebrations of the defeat of Nazi Germany on May 9, 2015 which defeat was primarily done by the Soviet Union with the Battle of Stalingrad (August 1942-February 1943) being the turning point of WW2 and with the Red Army being the liberators of Berlin. The American Second Front from Normandy (June 6, 1944) was simply the Race to Berlin, which the Americans lost to the Red Army, ending the race 110 miles West of Berlin. On May 2, we commemorate the 1 year anniversary of the Nazi Ukraine-USA’s CIA attack on the House of Trade Unions in Odessa where 300 people were killed, including some burned alive, in a horrible massacre.

At home, we are witnessing the Murder by Deliberate Medical Neglect of famous black journalist, Mumia Abu-Jamal, by a Democratic Governor of Pennsylvania, Tom Wolf, who is only carrying out the latest horror started by Democratic District Attorney Ed Rendell, who framed Mumia. Rendell later become chair of the national Democratic Party. For the latest updates on Mumia who is suffering horribly from diabetes and kidney failure and is being held incommunicado in the prison infirmary, with no one, not even his lawyer allowed to see him, see:

For more on the Pennsylvania federal representatives, Democrats just like Republicans, supporting Nazis in Ukraine, with lots of good links to the horrors of Nazis in Ukraine, see

The murder of Mumia comes at the same time as massive protests across the nation against the rise in police killings, while we have a Democratic Party president, who happens to be black, who supports the police, just like the Republicans. As Martin Luther King said, we must judge people not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Both the Democrats and Republicans have the same racist, reactionary, pro-war, pro-police, pro-Nazi, pro-profit motive anti-labor character. IT IS THE DEMOCRAT-REPUBLICANS WHO ARE THE RIGHT WING. If you do not care to be associated with these millionaire, fascist warmongers, change your voter registration today to the only two parties that are for peace, labor, the environment, and much more, namely Peace & Freedom Party and the Green Party.
