Pumps' Perplexities

Growing up in an era when you learned how to "duck under
a desk" during an atomic attack, we also saw TV or movie
pictures of the large, massive parades held by Communist
countries on May 1st - May Day........

It was their proclamation to the world that they would one
day control and rule it all.......Pictures of long lines of marching
solders, carrying guns......Rows and rows of tanks, rocket
launchers, with banners and flags.......The "new society".......

Also there were a lot of Communist workers, socialists and
unions that marched and held rallies, that day, in America......
There seemed to be one always at Union Square in New York
City.......

Well the Cold War has been over for almost twenty years........
Unions are on a decline because their wants and needs can
not be met by corporate America.......The socialists are the
same, just a little older and trying to recruit a younger following......

Where do today's immigration marches and rallies fit in.......
Are they the "New Communists"?......."New Socialists"?......
Or do they think a "Union Leader" has their best interests
at heart?........Pumps
