Today in Labor History November 7, 1919: The first Red Scare, or "Palmer’s Reign of Terror," began in the U.S. on this date, on the 1-yr anniversary of the Russian Revolution, with the imprisonment of 3,000 anarchists without bail at Ellis Island. During the Palmer raids, thousands of anarchists, communists, union leaders and other radicals were rounded up, imprisoned, deported and killed. Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman were among those who were deported.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1968, #RichardNixon won election as president. His combination of #liberal policies, #anticommunism, and the #SouthernStrategy's appeal to #racists created an easy comeback victory. Lessons learnt in the #Goldwater & #Nixon runs laid a template for Reagan.

Today in Labor History Nov 2, 1965: Norman Morrison, a 31-year-old Quaker, set himself on fire in front of the Pentagon, directly below the office of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, to protest the use of napalm in the Vietnam war. Fellow Quaker and peace activist Alice Herz had set herself on fire in Detroit, Michigan a few months prior, also to protest the war, as had several Buddhist monks, including Thích Quảng Đức. Morrison had brought his one-year-old daughter, Emily, with him to the self-immolation. He died within minutes of being placed in the ambulance. Demonstrators held a vigil for Morrison, and then occupied the Pentagon for four days until they were removed and arrested. Five days after Morrison’s death, Vietnamese poet Tố Hữu wrote the poem, "Emily, My Child", assuming Morrison’s voice, speaking to Emily and telling her the reasons for his sacrifice. And one week after his death, Roger Allen LaPorte set himself on fire in front of the United Nations building in New York. By the end of the war, napalm had killed over 50,000 civilians in Vietnam.

In 1971, Ariel Dorfman and Armand Mattelart published “How to Read Donald Duck,” a book-length essay critiquing Disney comics as capitalist propaganda for U.S. corporate and cultural imperialism. It became a bestseller throughout Latin America and is still considered a seminal work in cultural studies. It was first published in Valparaiso, Chile when Allende was in power. Pinochet banned it and conducted public book burnings.
