Where is this rally?

Must be London, as I can see a mighty London class warrior begging for votes in the last photo.

and he is not alone..Marx is looking from the backround

.....As if after all these years noone has heard about Bakounin,about the mistakes that Marx made and was warned about from the Anarchists.
So it seems we still talk about socialism in the context of Marxism ,and about revolution in the context of the Russian revolution maybe????
Oh man ,its so yesterday all this ,and somehow seems so relevent,only because the ignorance of the people is never in decline.....
As for the media,dont expect them to do the job.they d rather get some profits .....
So ,any takers?Or should we again start talking about the chances of success of an anarchist revolt ,a revolt that all would take part as equals,and a revolt that will result to a free,equal,fair society that cares for the individual,the common good,the equality ad the freedom ,and the food for all in the world,as well as the education.
Its too late to go back to the original arguments of course ,so i say lets start planning the future ,now that the future is here....:)
As foir tactics,dont need to do much anyway.the few rich hawks are going to kill each other in the fight for more power and we will take over the world after they all destroy each other ,and rebuild it in a way that will never again allow the corporations and the money hunting hawks to take over,and will ensure that politics is not a process of satisfaction of individual needs for the rich ,but a proccess of sharing the riches of this earth equally amongst the human race and with no harm to the planet and its animals and environment.
simple but expensive eh?
well......
who cares about costs anyway?only the capitalists.lets spend a lot on people,on humans,on everything that has to do with peace,envoronment ,protection of the weak,food for all,education for all,equality and equal sharing of the resources of this earth for all people.
Each human hasthe right to have a life as confortabler as every other human.And we will not stop until everry human on this planet has exactly the same like everybody else with no exceptions.
Then if anyone dares to raise a demand for more than the rest of humanity ,we will hae the right to say to him that he has no place on this planet and should leave if not like it.simple.We dont care where these hawks will go as long as they leave this planet alone and the human race in peace and happiness.the peace they dont appreciate and the happiness they dont want to find .so let it bo so.let them go away to find what they really want.not on our expense though.or the expense of our freedom.
Bye for now

Vote for war and torture, anything as long as its not the BNP

02.05.2004 15:09

Has anyone noticed the latest trickery of Livingstone and his type made in the speaches at the end of the May Day march?

Now that the Labour government has been totally disgraced by the atrocities committed by its troops in Iraq these people are having difficulty asking for people to vote Labour. Then along comes the BNP to the rescue! What could be better than a BNP scare? So Livingstone starts scaremongering about the BNP and urging a vote for "anyone against the BNP". What does he really mean? Vote Labour of course!

Vote for the butchers of the Iraqi people, vote for war and torture, vote for electrocution, beating and rape of Iraqi prisoners, vote for anything as long as it isn't the BNP! What an insult to International Workers Day!

We are our own worst enemies

I went to London on Mayday from gloucester and all i could see was tens of different blocks all calling for the same thing. Socialism, anarchists are not exluded because communism is in effect anarchy. We can't achieve anything by separating ourselves from our own ideologies. If all the blocks are true socialists...communists(long term) or anarchists then we should all unite under one banner. I dont enjoy seein ML communist patries separated from LM communist parties. We should get over this crap and fight for the common good! We are all the proletariat and we should all unite. Then maybe we can pass our message more efectively.
Respect to the anarchists, i read your leaflets they all sound good. Even though i am a marxist i think we should include every1 from the far left in 1 organisation.

That's all

HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE
