MIM to South Carolina crackers: get a life

On August 8th, South Carolina's government raised a Confederate 
submarine from the ocean floor and promised to inter any remains 
found "in a local cemetery with Confederate military honors." The 
submarine is of significance because it was the first one to sink 
an enemy ship; although from the sounds of the battle, it may have 
won the old fashioned way -- by ramming, and not by doing anything 
submarines are known for today. The Hunley sank soon after 
supposed victory.

In the year 2000, South Carolina's crackers could not rest with 
fighting for the Confederate flag to stay atop the state capitol 
building. The Confederate flag is the symbol of the secessionist, 
pro-slave South of U.$. history. Fighting for that flag was not 
enough, so as is often the case with the crackers, they had to dig 
up some bones and pay them new respects for being reactionaries.

Although the submarine battle may be historic, MIM has no patience 
for the politicians giving military honors Confederate style to 
the soldiers and sailors they dig up. The Confederacy was the 
losing, reactionary side of the war and deserve no honor.

Forever setting up museums and running favorable reenactments of 
their side of the Civil War, the crackers had to go to the bottom 
of the ocean this time to keep their agenda going. The project to 
raise the submarine Hunley is sponsored by the South Carolina 
state legislature.

The pro-slavery secessionist rebellion started in South Carolina. 
Under the dictatorship of the proletariat, all kids would learn 
that the South lost the war. They would also learn that repression 
and violence against slavery are correct. As the flag controversy 
proved, this is far from a dead issue yet. Under the dictatorship 
of the proletariat, the people will learn to take pride in 
important things and not focus themselves on grinding the same old 
reactionary axe over and over.
