A World to Win!
Today's post is about communists. And not just any communists, but hardcore commies: ones that think the post-Stalin USSR was a timid mouse and that the various Maoist movements arround the world were eh...okay, but should be chastised for letting ethnic and nationalist group identity get in the way of the worldwide proletariat struggle. Yes, we're talking about the Progressive Labor Party.
Back in the days when the Music Editor (ME) worked near Chicago's Art Institute and the Monz would stop by for lunch for things like McDonald's pizza (they were testing it), he once stumbled by accident into the PLP's Chicago office, got into a baffling discussion/debate with a young revolutionary, and bought an album for $5: "A World to Win." Some of it was quite catchy, though the ME was quite embarassed when the Monz explained to him the meaning of his favorite track, "Put It On the Ground" (so obvious in retrospect - Doh!). You can now download these and other PLP releases for free!
Comrade Monz liberates a lunch from that bastion of free enterprise known as Whole Foods: Tofu spring rolls and cucumber rolls. Viva la revolucion!
