Sources inside the Vermont Worker’s Center report that the organization has become aware that their wall calendar has not had a page turned for some time, and until only today has been showing the current month as May, 1987.
“It was kind of a shock,” one long-time associate explained. “We couldn’t figure out why no one else was talking about the ‘workers and peasants,’ and referring to every plan, gathering, and project as the ‘people’s fill-in-the-blank.'”
“It turns out that sort of rhetoric is a bit… dated. Who knew? No wonder folks have been looking at us funny.”
While employees of the VWC are currently underway updating their lexicon (which, some insiders point out, was already pushing it in the 80s) and adapting more current phraseology, they are curiously finding that their list of policy priorities needs no updates whatsoever.
This is very funny. Thanks for giving me post April Fool’s giggles… sorry I didn’t see this post sooner! But actually, the VWC calendar is chock full of justice worthy of 2013 standards… paid sick leave anyone? or how about pushing back on the war on the poor? or perhaps you’re interested in a good ole, colorful rally to lift your spring spirits?
