Lectures on union violence attract notice

In one clip, Ancel tells students, “Violence is a tactic, and it’s to be used when it’s the appropriate tactic.” She later tells a story about a friend who worked for a utility company in Peru, where it’s illegal to strike.

“They couldn’t get access to” strike, “but they had a lot of cats, and they succeeded in putting cats in powerhouses,” she said. “And the cats — now, don’t think about the cats, OK? The cats would run around inside and short out the system and cause power blackouts. And that created enough chaos in the system” to get to “a negotiating position.” Plus, she joked, they “got rid of a lot of feral cats.”

...
Giljum, who represents Ameren workers, talks about putting a “strategically placed screwdriver” near equipment that “coupled with other kinds of insinuations” caused the plant manager to overreact and shut down operations. He also talks about workers stalking a company CEO at shopping centers and church until the executive became so paranoid he began wearing protective gear to work because he was afraid of being shot.


Don't think about the cats... put aside animal rights for now, it's not useful for the discussion - it's only for use against our enemies the capitalists...

All of the political correctness are tools to keep people quiet and reduce the influence of common sense and truth.

Stalking is OK also - but only when it's used by the communists and union-istas.

Progressives took over the schools decades ago. We probably already have 2 generations that went through these types of classes.

It's too late.

That article is from April. Here is a followup. Brietbart is up to his usual editing tricks.

UMSL agrees labor videos were misleading
Wednesday, May 11, 2011
The University of Missouri-St. Louis, like its Kansas City counterpart, has found that videos from a labor studies course posted online last month were edited out of context.
The edited videos seemed to show the instructors promoting industrial sabotage and advocating for violence.
In a personal statement she issued days later, Ancel said at no time did either of them advocate violence; rather, they were expressing ideas from other sources to spark class discussion,

Groups of people use violence to win their point all the time, all one as to do is look at Afganistan or Iraq to see two obvious cases amoung of many others. People using violence, FYI that includes individuals and countries such as ourselves.
