The following was written in response to a member of the LRP who defended their organization's position on Cuba.

The Movie J. Edgar; Just More Hollywood Lies 
While the movie J. Edgar ignores J. Edgar Hoover’s many successes in silencing American Blacks, leftists, and persecution of homosexuals, it starts out by “justifying” the 1919 Palmer Raids. J. Edgar Hoover’s involvement in the Palmer Raids was at the beginning of his long sordid history of carrying out political repression in the United States. The Palmer Raids, led by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer with J. Edgar Hoover on his staff, rounded up leftists including Anarchists, Communist...

Longshore workers name Occupy movement as crucial in EGT settlement 
[The fight at Longview was a make-or-break struggle against union busting for the longshore workers of the ILWU. If EGT was able to break the union's jurisdiction there, other grain shippers would have moved to do the same. But the workers fought, the union held fast, the Occupy movement and ILWU stood-up together against union busting and police repression, the ruling class feared the unrest on the docks could spread, and the workers won on the question of jurisdiction.
