I’ve been providing proof for a while that ‘Moral Monday’ is indeed, far Left with direct ties to communist groups and unions. Nice to see it so out and in your face lately. From the article, Communist Day in New Haven, we find a reference to Occupy Monday. Laurie Kennington is a Marxist and member of the Young Communist League. She was thrilled her parents were arrested at Occupy Monday in North Carolina.
Her parents are Elizabeth and Gregory Kennington who were arrested on June 3rd, 2013. You can look it up for yourself. Related articles: #MeltdownMonday – June 3rd Edition Arrests and #MeltdownMonday – June 3rd Edition
Emphasis added below is mine.
Rounding out the trio was Yale’s Laurie Kennington, who praised the work of a local group called New Elm City Dream and of the Young Communist League for their “commitment to fight unemployment.”
In truth, the Young Communist League has long been committed to more than just jobs. In the 1930s, it refused to waver one inch from the Stalinist party line. The young American Bolsheviks in the YCL were completely subservient to the Soviet Union. At the Seventh World Congress in Moscow in 1935, smack in the middle of Stalin’s famines and mass purges, the Communist International described “the Young Communist League of the United States” as “a great success.”
Unfortunately, the Young Communist League didn’t die with the Comintern and USSR. Laurie Kennington considers it still a great success. And this particular evening in New Haven, the comrades from the Young Communist League were gathered among the faithful. The young Marxists presented an inspiring slide show amid the singing, drumming, chanting, shouting, and howling.
Also in attendance were Kennington’s parents. She recognized them as having traveled all the way up from Durham, North Carolina, where they had been earlier marching in the Moral Monday protests against the Republican governor and legislature. If you’re not familiar with the Moral Monday movement, think of it as a southern version of Occupy Wall Street, though perhaps a shade further to the left. Kennington expressed pride that her parents had been arrested during a Moral Monday protest.
If the Moral Monday cadre has its way, perhaps with an influx of tens of thousands of more northerners, it might be able to fundamentally transform the reliably conservative state of North Carolina. With some help from the left-wing university community in Raleigh-Durham, perhaps just enough good-hearted, open-minded, “tolerant,” and enlightened “progressives” could nudge this red state forward, saving it from its backwater, Bible-thumping roots—to become something perhaps along the lines of Virginia in 2012, or maybe even Maryland or Connecticut. One can dream. – The American Spectator, June 2014
