"Workers of the World Unite... it's not just a slogan anymore." Andy Stern-President, SEIU

I'm not sure the closing line from Marx and Engels' "Communist Manifesto" ever was "just a slogan". It definitely meant something then and it means something now. It is the rallying cry for the proletariat to overthrow their employers and the rest of the Bourgeoisie. That was the meaning then and it's the meaning now.

Andy Stern just means that for the first time, thugs like himself have the wherewithal to do something about it.

It's telling in many ways that Stern has been invited to the White House 22 times since Obama was inaugurated, more than any other person. I'm sure it's not because of his charming personality. The more likely reason is that Obama looks to Stern for guidance on how best to bring about the Marxist goal. Why does anyone doubt Obama's intentions anymore? I asked earlier today what the threshold was for determining that perhaps profiling muslim men was a reasonable way of preventing mass killing spress like the one at Fort Hood. I have the same question for how many communists, Mao-admirers, domestic terrorists and other assorted sordid characters does Barack Obama have to surround himself with before we can reasonably say that he shares at least some of their views and goals?

I fear that the term "communist" has completely lost its meaning in the 21st Century. I fear that college-educated kids have literally no idea how many people died in the 20th as a direct result of failed attempts at imposing Communism. I fear that soft-spoken thugs like Andy Stern resonate with those kids far more soundly than would the words of Thomas Jefferson, Sam Adams or Ben Franklin.

Andy Stern isn't kidding when he says SEIU will get what it wants by the "power of persuasion" and if, if that fails, by the "persuasion of power". Ask yourself, what exactly does "persuasion of power" mean in the context of an SEIU President being the number one visitor to the Obama White House?

I fear the rest of us are going to find out.
