‘Visions of Solidarity’: US Revolutionary Socialist Hip Hop
A solidarity message I received from MC Red October:
We’re doing our part here to build the anti-imperialist side of things. It’s not easy, but more and more people are turning against the war in Iraq and raising questions about US foreign policy more generally. It is a very exciting time. Today I’m performing near a military base with the Iraq Veterans Against the War bus tour.
We hope to see soldiers turn against the war in increasing numbers, because of how important that was to stopping the Vietnam war.
