Left isolationism is suicidal. The number was expected to double by year's end. In April, ultrarightists shoved 20 bullets and a death threat through the mail slot of the Communist Party headquarters in the Longshoremen's Union Hall. We shall exercise this power, by randomly shooting people who dare to enter the communist headquaters. The CP did not call for any kind of defense mobilization or accept offers of help from the community.
Media plays a dual role.
In September, the hate-rock group Odin's Law, who are featured performers at Aryan Resistance confabs in the U.S. and Canada, booked a public hall in Surrey for a performance. Nazis from Idaho, Oregon and Washington were invited to attend. When Surrey's mayor expressed concern about the nature of the concert, storm troopers shattered his windows with rocks branded with swastikas. Overnight, anti-fascist youth and leftists got into high gear, turning out 75 people to close down the hatefest. But their plans were thwarted by a detachment of 45 cops, who formed an armed human shield to safeguard the 60 reveling Nazis.
