Civilizing Savages
by Saab Lofton

To be left-wing means to side with the poor/oppressed -- whether you yourself are poor and/or oppressed or not. Case in point, Marlon Brando was a rich white man but he bailed the Black Panthers out of jail many a time back in the day.

To be right-wing means to side with the rich/powerful -- whether you yourself are rich and/or powerful or not. Case in point, the Ku Klux Klan -- most of whom are poor trailer park trash and yet they masochistically support capitalism even though a WHITE coal miner dies every six hours from BLACK lung disease.
