Free Troy Davis! Abolish the Racist Death Penalty!

There’s No Justice in the Capitalist Courts!

By Steven Argue

During slavery a slave named Dred Scott was taken by his master to what is now Minnesota and Illinois. Slavery was illegal in those territories so Dred Scott took his master to court to sue for his freedom. In 1857 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against Dred Scott saying that a Black man “has no legal rights that any white man was bound to respect”.

Organarchy track about the Battle of Seattle

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 17/09/2011 - 9:55pm

I was going through some data CDs I had burnt years ago. Clean up and clean out time ya know. I found this track by Organarchy. I remember listening to this when I was first getting into politics, back in the early 2000s. I couldn't find it out on the web so I upload it here, for old times sake. I think it is called 'Congratulations Seattle' or maybe just 'Seattle'.

Enjoy.
