Carl Dix was a soldier in the US Army until he refused to go to Vietnam. After a stint in jail, he came out and joined the Black Workers Congress (remember Darnell Stephens Summers? Links here<\/a> and here<\/a>.) From the Black Workers Congress, Dix went to the Revolutionary Communist Party which was co-founded by his friend Bob Avakian. Here’s Avakian a few days ago;<\/embed>Now Dix is the national spokesman for the RCP. Apparently, he’s not full of the hope and change of this administration. In a Democracy Now interview in July, along side Cornel West, Dix said;

And you look at Obama\u2019s last two Father\u2019s Day speeches, he gets into this thing of, you know, the youth got to pull up their pants. The absent dads got to be involved in their lives. You\u2019ve got\u2014the parents got to turn off the TV and make sure the kids do their homework. In other words, the onus for the youth not achieving is being put on the youth themselves and their parents. And what\u2019s disappearing in that are the continuing obstacles that this system puts in the way of black, Latino and poor youth who want to achieve. So, in other words, the people are being blamed, and who better than Barack Obama, the first black president, to blame black youth for their plight? If George Bush does it, people would say it\u2019s racist. But when the first black president does it, it actually draws people into it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, anyway, here’s a video Dix posted two weeks ago calling for a national protest against police “brutality” on October 22, 2009: The National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation<\/em>. the video is pretty instructive of the folks on the fringe. The hyperbole flows freely.<\/p>\n

Dix assures us that it’s not time for revolution yet, but he tells us to be ready. But he says “The system is the problem. Revolution is the solution.” So how does that relate to this blog and it’s theme? Well, I was watching some videos that Elaine Brower<\/a> (an IVAW straphanger from Military Families Speak Out) had taken of an IVAW navel-gazing session in Savannah, GA last weekend. From her YouTube channel, I saw a video of Sansara Taylor (spokes clown for World Can’t Wait which was founded by Maoist C Clark Kissinger) that Brower had taped. Sansara is always good for a giggle. Here’s a screen shot;<\/p>\n

Notice the Revolution T-shirt? It’s the same one that Dix is wearing in the video. It’s one big incestuous gangbang.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
