90 percent of the event was great, sold a lot of books made a lot of connections. That was until some anti-civilization Anarchists flipped out table and stole our shit. Twice. The first time everyone saw it wasn’t our fault, even some wobblies came and helped us. The 2nd time we weren’t so lucky and they kicked us out. The organizers of the event were too blinded by their Anarchist bias to see that the people breaking our shit were obviously in the wrong. It’s not like we crashed the event, we payed 90 bucks to have a table. Even with this BS we still made plenty of money and connections. They think this is some victory and are gloating about it. PCUSA is rising and some people aren’t happy about it. If it wasn’t obvious that Anarchists are synthetic glowies movement before, it sure is now.
Such things are rare these days. If we are lucky there will be a broadly left event some time. Until then we will just keep growing our publishing house until we have the clout to host our own events.
