To fly the friendly skies of the National Security State, one must first be prepared to jettison all leftist baggage.
What The Left Left At O’Hare
by Raymond Nat Turner
I recall, it was like TSA had groped,
Probed and lightened their load:
“You can’t carry independent politics aboard”
“Militant mass-action is forbidden aboard the aircraft”
“Proletarian Internationalism must be dumped out here”
“Revolutionary attitude toward the state is absolutely forbidden beyond the gate!”
“You are allowed to bring aboard:
2oz see-through plastic bottles of social-chauvinism
2 oz plastic bottles of reformism
2 oz plastic bottles of tokenism
Unlimited humanitarian interventions in see through plastic is allowed”
Happy campers boarding in ’08,
Gate 1%, O’Hare, via Ronald
Reagan, “the left” powered
Down principles, turned off
Theoretical devices, kept its
Seatbelts buckled low and tight—
Paid high prices for complimentary
Kool Aid, mini-bottles of beer and
Headphones for feature films like
0 Dark 30 looped eight years on
Their non-stop flight—
Making their descent
Three years left in the
Holding pattern, acting as
Floatation devices under one
Seat aboard… Air Force One…

Democrats have been fooled into thinking that only the courts can protect abortion rights. In fact, legislation could protect abortion permanently, but their party has refused to do that.
The West’s fiction of “human rights” has been weaponized by neoliberals to rationalize naked imperialist interventions.
