On Jim Gardiner’s (Chicago Ward 45 alderperson) Facebook page he’s letting his followers call me anti-Italian slurs. And he keeps hiding my comments.

He’s down there now. Screaming up at us. And I’m sure he’s in severe pain.

Quote from The Militant.

C&H Sugar is owned by the American Sugar Refining Group, a $4 billion company and the world’s largest refiner of cane sugar. It was founded by Alfonso and José Fanjul, brothers who fled Cuba in 1959 after the revolution.

The richest 1.5% of landowners in Cuba had owned 46% of the land under the U.S.-backed Fulgencio Batista dictatorship. The Fanjul brothers — children of a marriage that united two of Cuba’s wealthiest sugar families in the early 1900s — had 10 sugar mills, three alcohol distilleries and real estate interests across the country.

Peasants working on sugarcane plantations there lived in abysmal poverty. Sugar production was seasonal and cane cutters only got four months of work a year. They made up an army of the unemployed, continually in debt with their families fighting to get by. Illiteracy was widespread.

This is what America has always been. This was the playbook for 1930s Germany. This is what the US funds Israel for. Domination, land, slavery, and eradication. This is America. America was never great.

Reading a history book and it turns out the USA has always been the bad guy.

I saw a photo of my great grandpa for the first time this week. Immigrated from Italy in about 1893, settled in Chicago. My dad, grandpa, and great grandpa grew up in Chicago. Now I live in Chicago. I can’t stop thinking about this photo.
