<\/td>\nA 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<\/a>. 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<\/a>. Dorchester People for Peace<\/a> 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<\/a>]. Latinos for Felix Arroyo invite you to the 3rd annual “Felix Fiesta” in support of Boston City Councilor Felix D. Arroyo.<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I later learned that a Latino from the Harvard Initiative for Peace and Justice<\/a> 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.<\/a> 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 \ud83d\ude42 ] 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
