Today in Labor History February 16, 1934: Thousands of Socialists battled Communists at a rally in New York’s Madison Square Garden. 20 were injured in the melee. The rally was organized to protest the massacre of 1,000 Austrian socialists by the fascist regime of Engelbert Dollfuss. 5,000 members of the Communist Party violently disrupted the meeting to prevent Matthew Woll, of the AFL, and New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, from speaking. Woll was a collaborationist who believed that the most effective strategy for workers was a partnership with the bosses. He was also a staunch anti-communist and worked with the CIA to disrupt leftwing labor organizing in Europe. Some American Communists at that time considered that anyone who wasn’t communist was fascist, including non-communist socialists. On the morning of the rally, the Daily Worker denounced Woll and La Guardia as “open fascist[s]” and urged their Socialist brothers not to let them speak. During the rally, Communists jeered and booed the Socialists, calling them fascists, leading up to the violence.
The next month, five days after the opening of the Dachau concentration camp, the American Jewish Congress held another anti-Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden. 20,000 attended, plus another 40,000 rallied outside. One of their demands was that President Roosevelt immediately amend the immigration laws to allow German Jews entry into the U.S.
A few years later, 2/20/1939, Nazis held a large rally at Madison Square Garden. Advertised as a “Pro-American Rally,” 20,000 attendees, in Nazi armbands, were greeted with a 30-foot-tall banner of George Washington, flanked by large swastikas. Storm troopers in Nazi uniforms guarded the aisles. Their rhetoric was very similar to that of the participants at Trump’s rally there in 2024. Attendees had picket signs that read “Stop Jewish Domination of Christian America.” There were speeches about stopping the Jews from taking American jobs. One of the speakers, Gerhard Wilhelm Kunze, pointed out that American history has always been white supremacist, from the founding of the country by white men, to slavery, the Chinese exclusion act, anti-miscegenation laws, and Jim Crow. They referred to Washington as America’s first fascist. Thousand of anti-fascists demonstrated outside. Both Mayor LaGuardia, and the American Jewish Committee supported the Nazis’ right to hold the rally. LaGuardia said, "If we are for free speech, we have to be for free speech for everybody, and that includes Nazis."

(co-published w Irish Examiner)
I was planning this week to write about the effect of either a Harris Administration or a Trump Presidency upon our lives in #Ireland.
But then I watched #TrumpRally from #MadisonSquareGarden.
And for 1st time, I was scared for the future of my native country.

As Emily Singer notes, Trump is trying to brand his Madison Square Garden hatefest as a lovefest.
Orwell responds:
“Even the names of the four Ministries by which we are governed exhibit a sort of impudence in their deliberate reversal of the facts. The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation."
ICYMI, #RudyGiuliani racism at #Trump's #MadisonSquareGarden rally:
“"…the Palestinians are taught to kill us at two years old. They won't let a Palestinian in Jordan. They won't let a Palestinian in Egypt, and #Harris wants to bring them to you!
“They may have good people. I'm sorry. I don't take a risk with people that are taught to kill Americans at two. I'm on the side of Israel. You're on the side of Israel. Donald Trump's on the side of Israel and they're on the side of the terrorists!"“
Re posting this gem. Too bad we did not have them to hand out in #nyc at #madisonsquaregarden to the bigot dafties who live for signs and swag.

Before the #MadisonSquareGarden Rally, #Trump Announced #TonyHinchcliffe Would "Showcase" the #MAGA Movement
Trump announced Hinchcliffe on his official campaign page, but now denies knowing who the comic was
#OcasioCortez Warns #Trump #NYCRally Was Primer for Taking Power 'by Force'
"That's what they're doing when they're inciting violence and hatred against #Latinos, against #BlackAmericans, against Americans who don't have children."

"U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned Monday that the hate-filled campaign rally held by former Republican President Donald Trump at #MadisonSquareGarden in New York City was meant to further prime supporters for another #January 6 - style attempt to seize power by force if Democratic Vice President #KamalaHarris wins next month's election.
"Sunday's event—which drew comparisons to a #1939NaziRally that packed the iconic Midtown Manhattan arena—featured speakers including billionaire #ElonMusk, conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and comedian #TonyHinchcliffe, who called the U.S. territory of #PuertoRico a 'floating island of garbage.'
"Although the Trump campaign has attempted to distance the GOP presidential candidate from Hinchcliffe's bigoted remarks, Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said during a Monday interview on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' that Sunday's event was 'not just a presidential rally,' it was 'a hate rally.' "
MVP #KamalaHarris is making the “closing argument” for her presidential campaign Tuesday from the same site where #Trump incited his #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection.
Harris' speech comes just after Trump’s Sunday night #Nazi Party Rally aka #MAGA Rally at #MadisonSquareGarden.
Harris event is scheduled to run from 5-9 PM ET. Harris' address is estimated to start around 7:30 PM ET.

Project much, Damien? I mean, Donny? The company one keeps tells a lot about a person's character... "#Trump’s childhood friend David Rem referred to Harris as '#TheAntichrist' and 'the devil.' Businessman Grant Cardone told the crowd that Harris 'and her pimp handlers will destroy our country.'"
Of course the Dear Leader digs in. What else can you expect from someone who called the violent Jan 6th coup attempt a 'love fest,' too?

"It would be undeniably hilarious if an objectively terrible yet racist joke cost Donald Trump the presidency. Karma itself could not conceive of a better way to deny this ill duce the 'Get Out of Everything' card that he—and the Republicans on the Supreme Court—imagine the presidency to be."
