This May Day, as every May Day in New York, Union Square became the stage for all sorts of revolutionary theatrics.
The actors included communist groups demanding right to work, labor unions demanding more pay for less work, border jumpers looking for any work, occupiers who don't know what work is, and anarchist kids with slogans like "Never work."
Opposing hundreds of these protesters were two young local students who read the People's Cube. One of them sent us a picture with this little description.
"Many called us assholes and Nazis, but there were some who agreed with us and had conversations. We got interviewed by a couple of college students about the opposition. Some young kids asked us why we disapprove of their march and we explained and tried to persuade them to not be like the leftists. I also spread the word of the People's Cube."
In the spirit of fairness, let's give equal time to the opposition and let them describe the same scene.
Every New York newspaper I checked gave this May Day rally extremely sympathetic, glowing coverage, describing its angry and paranoid participants as courageous and heroic community activists. They were in the majority, enjoying full support of the media - and yet they felt the need to attack and threaten a couple of counter-protesters who, in contrast, maintained composed and calm demeanor.
Aggression is part of the leftist nature; they wouldn't hesitate to suppress free speech once they have the political power, especially when they know that they are wrong and that the other side knows it too.
So who exactly here thinks like a fascist and who is being courageous? Don't ask the New York media; they wouldn't have the slightest clue.
