Here's an interesting article (link provided by Stu Farish on the NAHC BB): <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>The New York City district council president of a union that recently backed Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean has publicly endorsed socialism at a national conference of the Workers World Party.
"The first thing we have to do is remind ourselves that we are fighting for socialism," said District Council 1707 President Brenda Stokeley of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Click here
MY OPINION: Now, admittedly, they did this AFTER endorsing Dean, so you can't really jump and say "Dean's a socialist." But nevertheless, it is interesting that an organization that is "fighting for socialism" finds him amenable to their cause.
