An essay by Patrick O’Donoghue on the situation in St. Cloud, Minnesota following a knife attack by an African immigrant, the backlash against the Somali community that followed, and the resistance to that backlash. The piece explores how the anti-refugee far right is using Islamophobia as a cover for their attack on the working class, compares and contrasts this anti-immigrant sentiment with the historical anti-German sentiment that helped form St Cloud's history of tension and resistance, and analyzes the city's economic conditions. It puts forward a call for community working class unity to push for housing, wages, and jobs, and against attempts by the far right to push cultural warfare.
