Re-Occupy Detroit!

They're back, and this time we cannot doubt their true message. Is it an actual coincidence that the Occupiers plan to re-occupy Detroit on May Day, traditionally a communist holiday? So much for representing the 99%.

The group intends to begin the day with rallies in southwest Detroit, followed by a march to Grand Circus Park, where there will be food, games, and music; a 'celebration' of the 99%. They will camp out there overnight. During the march they expect to be joined by unions and 'other groups', whomever or whatever they may be, to protest for workers and democracy.

We wonder how much history the Occupiers know, much less how much of it they understand. Democracies and the workers didn't appear to have blended very well in the old Soviet Union. Of course, Soviet May Day parades were much more grand, and decidedly straight to the point. Their 99% marched amongst soldiers, tanks, and great big guns, with pointy missiles on trailers behind drab green Army trucks. The People's Army. Apparently workers and democracy go hand in hand with military might. Mao was right then.

All you folks who fear corporate America, and corporate America certainly isn't perfect (of course, nothing of human design is or can be perfected without help beyond human means, but we doubt the Occupiers understand that either), do you see the option? We either have real freedom and democracy and the natural failings within it, or we have state despotism in the name of freedom, democracy, and the workers. Notice too that with real democracy, and we will proudly cite the democracy of the United States today and in history as having worked most generally the best for the people, we might actually curb corporate America's power. Yet with the communism, we replace that feared corporatism with something far worse: state command of the workers. From whom do appeal with that?

The Occupiers show their true colors with parades and parties on May Day. They too display their ignorance, naivete, and downright stupidity.
