I had occasion to take post some other pictures that were give to me of the Labor Day parade. I posted them on the Worcester Wants Bernie team messaging center, do I might as well post them here, too.

Here is one of Sharon and I actually marching in the parade. There is a placard that I am carrying just below the sign I we had made for the parade.

Here is another picture as we started out on the parade. You can get a little better hint at the black placard that I carried along with my sign.

YouTube has the video Cornel West and Richard Wolff talk about Capitalism and White Supremacy.

A conversation about capitalism with two brilliant minds, Cornel West and Richard D. Wolff, together in a rare joint appearance. Richard D. Wolff is Professor of Economics Emeritus, University of Massachusetts, and author most recently of Capitalism’s Crisis Deepens: Essays on the Global Economic Meltdown 2010- 2014/ Dr. Cornel West has written or edited dozens of books, including classics like Race Matters, and Democracy Matters. His most recent is Black Prophetic Fire, written in conversation with Christa Buschendorf. Also in the show, activist Manju Rajendran tells us about a small business that is successfully operating under an anti-capitalist economic paradigm. And Laura raises questions about the record-setting settlement with BP over drilling disaster in the Gulf Coast.

Having only worked in capitalist workplaces all my life, I still have trouble understanding how the ideals of Marx would really work in practice, Government capitalism as practiced in the Soviet Union, did not work out, but I get that this is not an example of what Marx had in mind.

As Cornell West indicates, he thinks Marxian analysis is brilliant, but that is not the same as thinking that the Marxian prescription is just as brilliant.
