some other fun political facts about HST:

he was wildly pro union. he is quoted as saying the IWW (chicago union) was the only sane and compassionate part us US politics

he pretty much hated capitalism: "coming to view the free enterprise system as the single greatest evil in the history of human savagery." he also had a massive picture of che in his kitchen.

he understood that american society is ultimately white supremacist, he called them "white power structures"

he spend a large amount of time and money organizing the defense of a woman accused and convicted of murdering a cop. i mean he first became famous, and met "his lawyer" while investigating the police murdering a mexican-american anti-war protestor. "his lawyer" was a prominent anti-war organizer.



pretty much nothing about this guy was conservative in really, kinda, any way.
