    My birthday. 19,11,68. Massive Joe Hill fan, maybe not the word. Admirer and hope for humanity, is more accurate. We need this man. NOW! But.. he never dies! He's in us all!

    My mother and some of her sisters met and became friends Mr. Robeson. Gave me a love of his music and politics, that stays with me still. Miss you, you crazy lady!

    Great video Bazzie Cullen. Thank you very much. Love the way it ends with the song from Paul Robeson. I used to live next to Paul Robeson Strasse in East Berlin.

    He is from Gävle, not Gälve as is spelled on the map. 🙂
    Yes, I have played in the small museum garden in Joe Hill-gården.
    It is impressive that he handled the English as good, as it was his second language.

    Even worse now. We have the richest man in the world, this Lex Luthor character, flying to space on the backs of his warehouse workers and thanking them for it. How about using taking the money that stroked a billionaire’s massive ego and brought back no science, and paying his workers a living wage with it?

    • @alexrayoalv
      @alexrayoalv 6 місяців тому

      And it’s worse because the billionaires are fast trying to rob all leverage from the working class. Artificial general intelligence and universal robots are coming. OpenAI, Microsoft, Tesla, Amazon, Google, Meta.. They’re in a race to claim this pie at the expense of all others. Totalitarian cyberpunk dystopia?

    Was there ever a time when the like's of Joe Hill was needed more than now? We have been sold down the drain by our " Labour Movement". It's amazing what sitting in the back of a Mercedes does to people. Shame on them.

      He didn't. He preferred to die a martyr. He's still an inspiration to labor activists.
