the soviet union did not top ended 3030 that was blaming the soviet union was seen as the bus can of revolution on the bus june of change, which african peoples designed from the cologne, new york. and of course, we know that from 1900 on 17 of cost in the fast, why do all the role of the soviet union was not as prominent as it became after the world war 2. when the card was then came into the arena and we could very easily talk of by paula awyle, the west on the soviet union. so in many ways, when african countries are now involved in the struggle for independence in 1900 on for this through to 1950 is under ultimately 1906 is the not trying to lie. was seen to be the soviet union for a number of reasons. if you look at the african national congress in south africa, many of the freedom fights as well gravitating towards the soviet union not only live full if you are not, you could reasons, but for support, financial support, and not only full financial support, sometimes ministry support on dispositions had to be made. so when you look at south africa, you'll find that there was a v

that's why from that to the soviet union. the soviet union was being seen at the time. i believe that of based on when we talk about soviet union, we must also remember at that time the great influence in countryside does hungry countryside. just portland countryside, just in germany on when this color ships to i've been granted the movement to based there was a lot of people from different parts of africa who then found themselves going to society in more school and in saint petersburg, at the behest of the soviet union, and that in itself grow naturally because the freedom fighters of the day on one can name the one for name gum. i've the nicer when gum i didn't master was over throwing them one king bed group. he inclined to watch the soviet union and didn't did when the swan hi dawn was being built. it is the soviets who actually find on the building of the us one item. and the q was also taken by form in chrome. when gun adi gained independence in 1957, one of the things that's happened is that you wanted to build the cost of them without out of costs. at that time

the soviet union did not top ended 3030 that was blaming the soviet union was seen as the bus. don't all have a lucian on the bus then of change which off with some people decide from the apollo new york. of course, we know that's from 1900 on 70. you know, of course, in the fast, why do all the role of the soviet union was not as prominent as it became after the world war 2 when the cold war then came into the every now. and we could very easily talk of by for a while, the west on the soviet union. so in many ways, when african countries are now involved in the struggle for independence in 1900 done for this through to 1950 is on the ultimate to 1900. the 6th is the not trying to lie was seen to be the soviet union for a number of reasons. if you look at the african national congress in south africa, many of the freedom fights as well gravitating towards the soviet union. not only for you do a logical reasons, but for support financial support, and not only full financial support, sometimes ministry support, and this positions had to be made. so when you look at south africa,

workers, supporting unions.as in new york, new york, illinois, california, the cost is always higher because there's upward pressure on negotiation and settlements that they make. people like independent truckers who don't want to be in a union because they can make more money on their own, there are a lot of tradesmen out there, independent tradesmen running excellent businesses and making a lot of money without being unionized. there's a bit of confusion in republican conservative circles over what do we mean about workers and the middle class. paul: that is related to your judgment of why trump won. the prounion, unions were neutral, therefore trump won but the reason he won workers and exit polling shows this was inflation. the fact their real wages went down under biden. >> if you go back to the obama administration this has been a trend, non-college-educated whites, moving to republicans for the last 15 years and some of that is cultural issues. it has been supercharged by inflation and you see that among

settlement union workers working for decades to raise a family.and down in delaware and the suburban area or building like the same kind of homes, it was a decent home but we had four kids living there and a grandpa. i remember how restless my dad was one night because my wall, my bedroom was up against his , me and my two brothers. i asked the next morning said what's the matter? dad just lost his pension. just lost his pension. from paycheck to paycheck for dignified retirement. knowing it when the time comes for that pension that you've earned, it will be there. it's critical just for peace of mind. it has impacts on how marriages are working, on how families hold together when you have that knowledge because there's so much pressure. but then to retire and find out all of those years of working and sacrifice are slashed all because of no fault of your own. imagine what this does financially to your dignity. it's wrong, it's just simply wrong. it should never have happened never. to be made whole again, lives and pension restored. what they're

that's why here in the prague union said pennsylvania when the most union friendly in american historyome one of our own, president joe biden. [applause] [applause] i'm not him. i am not him.

i tell people everywhere i go, thank a union member. thank a union member. you may not be a member of a union, but thank a union member if you've got a 9-to-5 work week, for your sick leave, for your paid vacation leave, for paid family leave, because it is union members network and put blood, sweat and tears into raising the condition of the american worker, wherever they work. [applause] and collective bargaining benefits our entire nation. i have tried to explain this to folks. here's the thing about collective bargaining. i'm going to break it down. to people who are not here, i said, look, in any negotiation, we'd want the outcome to be fair. alright. so if you are talking about the worker, one worker against the company, against the corporation, is that outcome going to be fair? no. the disparity in power is so extreme, that negotiation, if you are just requiring that worker to negotiate for better working conditions, better benefits, fair pay, it's not going to be fair. collective bargaining says, let the collective, the workers, who all stand in the

it's a story of many union workers working for decades. my dad lost a pension in wilmington, delaware. the same kind of homes. we had four kids living there. i remember how restless my dad was. my brothers were in that room. i said what's the matter? they just lost a pension. we enacted the american rescue plan to do a lot more than this pension for the most significant economic relief package in the history of america. delivered immediate relief to folks who need it most but not a single -- this is what change. i look like i'm 40 but i'm a little old. all kidding aside, we used to have real differences in the senate but at least one of the critical things we did of getting together. this is a different deal. not a single solitary republican in the house or the senate. not one voted to help with the pensions. not one. no, no, it's not so much about. it's the way things have gotten. you know, it's like you either vote the right way or one guy wants it or you're in trouble. it's wrong. it's not who the hell we are. i believe a lot of those r

it's the story of dissent in the soviet union starting in the 1960s through the soviet union's collapse. the movement that began then captured the world's imagination and the first movement for civil and human in the socialist world. it consisted of a rather improbable array of individuals who came together to demand essentially that the kremlin obey its own laws. they held unauthorized public gatherings, petitioned in support of arrested intellectuals, and circulated uncensored, typewritten texts. a few dissidents gained worldwide fame. and, you know, you'll, i'm sure, recognize their names. people like glauber, nobel laureates, andre sakharov and alexander solzhenitsyn. but but those individuals weren't the movement. it's a driving forces, actually. a number of others were in many of those involved remain virtually unknown today. the dissidents were subjected to exile, bogus trials, vicious press campaigns and sentences in psychiatric hospitals and labor camps. and they were all but crushed by the early 1980s, some emerged again later that same decade, during the heady days of mikhail

it's the story of defense of the soviet union starting in 1962 the soviet union and the movement that began to capture the world's imagination it was the first movement for civil and human rights in the socialist world. an improbable outbreak of individuals who came together to demand that the kremlin obey its own laws. they held unauthorized publicc gatherings and they arrested intellectuals and circulated uncensored unwritten tests. he gained worldwide fame and i'm sure you'll recognize their names one nobel laureate andrew sakharov that were mentioned as individuals were the driving forces and the number of others were in many involved remain virtually unknown today. they were subjected to exile dishes press campaigns in psychiatric hospitals in labor camps. and they were all but crushed by the early 1980s. that same decade during the happy days of mikhail gorbachev the left authoritarian post-soviet russia has long sincein evaporator. and most of those involved and have been forgotten. theme of the book and the highlight into history indeed at the time when thear authoritarianism

there are many people trying to save the union, save the union. of course lincoln is very clear that he will not let the confederacy go. he will try to keep the union together will not break the republican party's pledge on making sure certain things happen. although there are variouski attempts to save the union by making slavery permanent where it exists. including an original 13th amendment. there's a lot of maneuvering in this election to try to prevent long-term damage. and it is a very fraught moment for the unitedd states that ends up producing four years of blood he, buddy, buddy battles 350,000 dead and that freedom of 4 million enslavedic people. >> you mentioned vice president john breckenridge oversaw the electoral count on february 13, 1861. when you look at the results he was the runner-up when it came to electoral votes even among the 18% of the vote. steven douglas got one third of the vote but only 12 electoral votes. was that of any surprise to anyone? >> i think no. >> and meet the results john breckenridge got 72 votes steven d

if you and it was true of the soviet union. the soviet union had had laws and guarantees of human rights that were more impressive than the bill of rights to the us constitution. but it was all a sham and it's similar with russia today. laws are drafted to make it a crime for example, a lot of the political opponents of of putin in the kremlin have been arrested for treason and, you know, casting aspersions on the russian military, they draft laws in a way that in the united states legal system would be unenforceable because there are so vague with that is the beauty of from putin's perspective, he can pick and choose his security services. the fsb. he can pick and choose what behavior laws we want to prosecute and what will ignore. it happened during covid. anybody who was protesting for or against a matter that the kremlin didn't approve of. would be the protests would have to be broken up with the protesters themselves arrested because they were enforcing covid restrictions at public health. this is my god. i mean, please, p

unremitting kind support of the soviet union? the hungarian popular democracy see, and i may add all other popular democracies would never have been created and quote, harping on capitalist imperialism, red satirized alleged warmongers. in 1956, the world learned the meaning of the unremitting crimes of the soviet union. russians go home now. the hungarian people are in revolt. they succeed in, overwhelming the red forces and hold the upper hand for a few days. and through ruse and treachery, catching the hungarian freedom fighters totally unaware the russians counterattack end the short lived wrath of hungarian. in view of the acts of subjugation which we have just witnessed, supervise by khrushchev. it is difficult to understand this quote from stalin the people are small nations are frightened needlessly of soviet oppression. if the soviet union would undertake to oppress or influence nations, it would betray the ideology of lenin, unquote. words are one thing actions another. lenin advised his, and i quote in the last analysi

union and get an elected position the union, and start influencing the policies of the and use the union your political tool to exercise power and to scale your own power as a worker. so, you know, one of the things i love about the labor movement is, that it is extremely accessible to just about everybody and if you're not in a union, you should organize wherever work. if you're in a union, get involved a union, make it better, kick their -- and make them organize more and do good things. yeah, i'm just on that too. i mean, i think absolutely what hamilton said, you know, unions can be a force of reactionary in some cases, too, right? this is the distinction. we make reactionary solidarity, transformative? there's forms of solidarity that are exclusive to solidarity. white supremacist, ethno nationalist. right. so unions can be a places where, you know, they're anti-armor, where they're upholding that that of the white working class and their terrains to struggle over. right that we should those institutions and fight to make them forces progress so yeah i'm in a panel in this room abou

unions would be a union of every worker that industry skilled unskilled. there probably weren't really any that were literally unskilled but there were different levels of skill right and so this is just part of a very detailed chart the iww created. but just shows you, you know, here under service and lumbering, all of, say, all workers and words in the forest, they divided them up by different industries. and that's how they would organize this broader union. but all of the workers in those industries would be would be part of that union. and in addition to trying to organize all workers within a union skilled and unskilled, the iww wanted to organize all workers regardless of things like gender or race or ethnicity. again, was not something that was true. the american federation of labor, who excluded most african-american ones, excluded a lot of women, excluded chinese and other workers, in addition to excluding unskilled. so the iww is interested in organizing all workers. it doesn't matter what race or, what race or whether you're a man or woman. and

but it also provides a framework for the prosecution of union soldiers by the union army, which theyfor violations. and it makes transparent to the public and the public to both sides what the behavior of soldiers can legitimately be. and this is an important breakthrough, right? so that southern civilians can read the lieber code in the newspaper and then go to the provost marshal as do when union soldiers violate it, that the provost marshal is constantly fielding previous marshals everywhere are constantly fielding complaints from confederate civilians about the behavior of union soldiers. and there was a widespread expectation, particularly after the lieber code, that those men can be held to account, that you have said your standard is x or the soldier violated it. i want to make sure someone gets punished. now, why do this? why adopt this in the midst of a war in which perhaps not being restrained would end it more quickly? so certainly for the confederacy, adherence to the laws of and a steady trumpeting of that adherence, a lot of self-promotion in this part is a way of provi

despite for union, in italy, resonated with those in the north fighting for union in the north america. garibaldi was a living presence in the southern media. for this study, georgia media in particular, even prior to the election of 1860. he would remain a subject and the white southern mind. white southerners, who sought to legitimize the nation they were creating, hopes that self comparisons with garibaldi strengthened their case for independent nationhood. that presence existed on a decided arc, as it 1860 gateway in the united states to the election of lincoln, and national unification. newspapers in georgia, interpreted garibaldi as an avatar of southern aims and possibilities. the italian unity was a model for american disunity. after the war began, overtures by norther representatives to garibaldi began to sever the ties. there was never military sport for anti-slavery wargames. beginning in april of 1860, the georgia newspapers began to track garibaldi's every move. for the southern banner in athens, he was a defender of rome, the exile of the marshes of ravenna, the kendall d

army carolina union regiments. i mentioned there were four of the white regiments that were four african-american regiments slaves. free blacks also fled plantation and guerrilla violence to enlist in the north carolina colored infantry regiments. and that's what they were known as. yet many older unionists were caught at home too old to infirm, to flee or to set in their ways to to be forced out, even at the fear of confederate neighbors. quakers elijah and townsend lamb, who lived in near wood woodville, north carolina, and poor women's county, experienced equally rough treatment. the hands of local confederate military forces. now, both elijah and townsend lamb cast their votes against the state secession convention in february of 1861, and elijah son had even joined the us army in 1860 to because of his religious beliefs and perhaps also his desire to prevent further harassment from military officials. the father later furnished a substitute to the confederates in his son's stead. now, despite their pacifist co

remember the war for the union? the compilers dedicated the series to quote the men in the blue and gray, whose valor and devotion had become the priceless heritage of united nation. when alexander gardner well, well, this his original thoughts on, this he did not, nor did anyone else have that idea that it was equality. and you're certainly not going to when you see someone's guts hanging out, feel like reunion ism and let's all shake, especially when you think it could be your son or husband. so even confederates this said said. this is what gardner said this is the different comments in. 1866 he said, well, the picture confederates died in frantic efforts to break the steady line of patriots whose heroism only exceeds spelled theirs in motive. confederates paid life the price, their treason very much in memory of people in the war. if they were feeling generous, as they often were, they promoted, people's patriotism. now this, this. it's an example the pictures as you can see, there's a picture, a terrible pictur

given that membership of the european union in eventual membership of the european union is within the has been aspiring to, you can see people very unhappy with that decision by the georgian government to delay that issue until 2028. protesters once again lashing out at that decision coming out onto the streets the prime minister saying that they wanted to delay bringing in those talks on their own agenda. but of course a lot of people on their streets concerned with what this means. demonstrators shouting things like trader... beaten by police and we know that previously these protests have been intensifying with police using peppe" intensifying with police using pepper spray and tonight, once again, seeing it used against the demonstrators and bearing in mind that tbilisi is four hours ahead of gmt, so it is late coming to midnight on the streets. also signing an open letter saying that that this decision by the government doesn't align with georgia's strategic interests. so it is notjust members of the public, but also diplomats and civil servants adding their voice to this decisio
