Union Leaders Display Radical Side at Post-Election Occupy Rally
Steve Gunn – 6/12/2012
Verdin's 'struggle' against capitalism
Among the speakers who fired the
crowd up was Verdin, a Milwaukee Area Technical College instructor and member of the
American Federation of Teachers. The self-avowed Marxist Verdin, whom EAGnews yesterday exposed for telling a Greek audience,
"Socialist ideas are as American as apple pie,"
Verdin also told the crowd he was
very proud of his own union. "We raised hell this last year," he said of the
AFT.
He explained that he is a retired
Milwaukee public schools teacher, and now teaches
sociology at Milwaukee Area Technical College . To that point, he mused, “Without
Karl Marx, there would be no sociology department. So in some way I owe Comrade
Marx even more than being a smart person, I actually make money for teaching
‘conflict theory.’”

On the podium was local American Federation of Teachers activist Brian Verdin, telling the crowd that the "struggle" against "capitalism" was going to continue, regardless of the election result.
Also speaking was
local AFSCME
Local 82 President Gilbert Johnson, who went into a
racial tirade, accusing Wisconsin voters who
supported Gov.
Scott Walker of being "a bunch of haters" who prefer
"white man rule."
In the crowd stood Milwaukee Teachers Education Association President Bob Peterson, who looked embarrassed when questioned about rubbing elbows with the likes of Verdin.
