• Weaned in protest in Venice - Ron
Ridenour
Dear brothers, sisters and fellow
revolutionaries,
I have come into this
world of internet to see what my former compatriots are up to and see this
incredible world of action, of revolt, which has finally begun again in the US,
and which is also nostalgia for me while I am in Denmark, also protesting the
insanities of capitalism-imperialism. I write primarily to let you all know you
are appreciated by many many, and this old veteran of wars against the US state.
I got weaned in protest in Venice four decades ago. I was with the Venice West
Cafe, the Du Bois Club, Free Venice anti-Vietnam war, etc., all the way back in
1960.
We kicked ass and I am so glad to
see others taking up the challenge-the fight-the moral
courage.
I left the US in 1980, lived in and
worked for the Cuban revolution for eight years, one year with the Sandinistas,
oh, and it goes on. Now I am in Denmark and write, teach, hold talks about the
US Global Strategy, the wars,
racism...............
I am glad you are
alive and kicking.
keep on
truckín,
Love Ron
Ridenour
