NRA Fanatic-- And Montana State Legislator-- Claims Permission To Murder Socialists Is In The Constitution
Socialism-- of the Scandinavian variety-- was once very popular in Montana, particularly among miners. Montanans were voting for the Socialist Party candidate for president, Eugene Debs, almost doubt the rate of the U.S. in general and in 1917 Butte elected a Socialist Party mayor. That all eroded with the infamous Anaconda Road Massacre-- a corporate/fascist response to the Industrial Workers of the World and the Metal Mine Workers Industrial Union strike in 1920.
