Chock Block sends us a link <\/a>in regards to the new socialist recently elected to Seattle’s city council, Kshama Sawant, who has big plans for her city – like inspiring insurrection at the local Boeing plant;<\/p>\n

On Monday night, she spoke to supporters of Boeing Machinists, six days after they rejected a contract guaranteeing jobs in Everett building the new 777X airliner for eight years, in exchange for new workers giving up their guaranteed company pensions.<\/p>\n

Now Boeing is threatening to take those jobs to other states. \u201cThat will be nothing short of economic terrorism because it’s going to devastate the state’s economy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Sawant is calling for machinists to literally take-possession of the Everett airplane-building factory, if Boeing moves out. She calls that “democratic ownership.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that should inspire Boeing to keep their plant in the city.<\/p>\n

Sawant says after workers \u201ctake-over\u201d the Everett Boeing plant; they could build things everyone can use.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can re-tool the machines to produce mass transit like buses, instead of destructive, you know, war machines,\u201d she told KIRO 7.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yup, they could probably do that all on their own, huh? Then they could convert that big front yard into a unicorn farm. You know. And they could plant Skittle trees along their runway.<\/p>\n

Of course, you really can’t expect a socialist to understand things like economics or capital. If they understood the basic concepts, they wouldn’t be Socialists, would they?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
