Un Hombre de Paz
 |
A message to y’all from Hugo Chavez. Perhaps I exagerate. The message comes from Jorge Marin who works at the embassy here and showed me The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. The message [not the movie] is about un hombre de paz, Felix Arroyo. I live in Dorchester. Felix is a Boston City Councilor at Large. Dorchester People for Peace endorsed him. I voted for him. He’s running again. DPP endorsed again.I’ll vote for him again. Fenstermacher is not quite Latino, but I know some [like Jarrett Barrios]. Latinos for Felix Arroyo invite you to the 3rd annual “Felix Fiesta” in support of Boston City Councilor Felix D. Arroyo. |
The only face I recognized in the crowd at the Revolution was a young woman organizer from SEIU, none of her friends who call me[everything up to] counter-revolutionary were there [and yet they use him as an example when it is convenient.] She told me her union had told her not to get involved with other unions. I was not fooled. I knew she had.
I later learned that a Latino from the Harvard Initiative for Peace and Justice was there. We met at another Bolivarian meeting. We went to Au Bon Pain and talked things over. We agreed on a lot. “Idealogical groups,” he said, “often don’t really put priority on ideology. It’s really about ‘the group’.”Among the 2/3 of HUCTW members that do not vote, there are quite a few who agree with us two. I know them. I know one that belongs to a collective that puts out a left economics magazine. Their stuff is much more useful than the tabloids. The Solidarity Game is nasty, nasty, nasty. You think the Powers That Be don’t know? They know they are a small minority.That’s their goal! [Sadly, it seems to be the goal of some reform groups too. I polled better than most of them 🙂 ] They know they are still in power. I mean this on all levels, not just HUCTW. They ARE afraid, but seeing you play the game by the same rulesputs them at ease. Shame on you.
