Harry Bridges sold out pretty early on (not that he didn't do righteous things in '34, but later on he was just another bourgeois politician), as all union bureaucrats evenually are.
I suggest we start a petition to rename the plaza the "Nick Bordoise/Howard Sperry Plaza" in honor of the real heroes of the 1934 General Strike, ya know, the two martyrs gunned down by the pigs.

Harry Bridges was a registered Republican and very bourgeois. You can petition to change the name or just call it what you want, but we would all appreciate it if you would keep the language clean on this website, especially in the titles. Radicals are not illiterates; we are proud of our excellent language skills, and English has a very broad vocabulary. There is no reason to use foul language here, or anywhere else. Thank you.
I do thank the Million Worker March people for calling this May Day rally. It is long overdue, and I hope it becomes an annual event, big enough for a march on Market Street.
Happy May Day!

I thought Harry Bridges was never a citizen of the U.S. Therefore, how could he have been registered Republican or for that matter anything else?\
He was a Communist.
No, he was a bourgeois Stalinist. Which is the worst kind of Capitalist.
The people who made the Paris Commune of 1871 were *communists.*
Bridges was a bureaucrat of capitalism.
