Getting ready for a state funeral...

Maybe I'll make posters for people who show up to the funeral procession.

Maybe I'll make t-shirts to commemorate the occasion.

Maybe I'll make a set of holiday greeting cards.

Maybe I'll make a bumper sticker.

Maybe I'll make yard signs so that your neighbors can share your solidarity.

Maybe I won't wait until he's dead.

The document is still displayed in this museum.

Disclosure: I am a founding and lifetime member of DSA, and lifetime subscriber of Jacobin.
