"Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it," - George Santayana

as it appeared in the Chicago Tribune:

And the Chicago Tribune of all places to originate... Someone should take out a private page in Chicago's paper now and repost this thing

 

[James Cannon]

WOW! Talk about a blast from the past. In two ways, even! I remember seeing this cartoon in one of my school history books in high school! That's a funny coincidence.

Just goes to shows that the problems of today are the problems of yesteryear, and will surely be the problems of tomorrow.

Yeah that definitely looks familiar. . .

There is nothing new under the sun. There are idiots today just as in that time. Thanks for sharing.

I look at that comic and am hopeful. As much as people screamed about FDR turning us into a socialist state, he didn't.

And if the supposed Greatest Generation didn't revolt, are we to do it?
