May Day in Houston:

As television cameras rolled at Bayland Park in southwest Houston, a yell came from the crowd at the afternoon rally.
“Viva el comunismo!”
People in the crowd looked startled. Quickly, Angela Mejia, one of the organizers, told listeners that the pro-immigrant movement was in no way associated with communism.
Being a “communist” in this part of town, home to many Central Americans who fled political strife in their countries, carries a lot of baggage, and left-wing activists aren’t exactly welcome. So the folks who were calling themselves “communists” took their cart full of red flags and headed to the other side of the park.
