May 1, 1886 – Chicago – Haymarket Square
Trial Transcripts from the Haymarket Affair
Poetry I read at a local IWW meeting on May 1, 1998. (I was not, and am not a member of the IWW, but I was the guest of a member.)
A scandalous pantsless picture of me performing poetry on May 1st at the World Cafe a few years back.

Commie.
Nope. A hugoist.
“First problem: Produce wealth. Second problem: To distribute it…England solves the first of these two problems. She creates wealth admirably; she distributes it badly…Communism and Agrarian law think they have solved the second problem. They are mistaken. Their distribution kills production. Equal partition abolishes emulation. And consequently labor. It is a distribution made by the butcher, who kills what he divides…The two problems must be solved together to be well solved.” (Victor Hugo, Les Miserables, pp. 840-841)
Good points. Let me rephrase:
Pinko commie.
pinko commie symp, maybe.
Just realized that’s redundant. My knowledge of the terminology apparently was lacking.
So, yes, as I read somewhere:
No one needs sympathy more than Communists and Dentists.
