Repost of english translation:

Eighty eight years of the day Trotsky directed the suppression of the anarchist uprising in Krondstadt, a group of bandits scaled the walls of his former house in Mexico City during the late hours at night. We broke the lock on his mausoleum and we expropriate the content inside it: a silver large vase that bears the inscription of his name, wrapped in the red scarf that he carried around the neck, containing the ashes of the corpse inside. We replace with care the lock in the monument with a reproduction that was similar in the appearance and escaped into the night.

The vase along with its content then was taken far away to a place where the vase was discarded and the content (a combination of ash and bone) were baked in cookies. These cookies then were sent, along with a letter that explains our actions, to newspapers, to organizations of Trotskyists, and to the groups of anarchist around the world.

While we will not repeat everything of our full letter, briefly we propose to give new light to the idea that history does not end with the past and still a small group of bandits can give new direction to fights thought long to be frozen in the time. We want to expand the fight to include dead objects of the past that hold hostage us in the present.

Nevertheless, if Trotsky is right about the history, we do not determine anything, but we are only characters whose actions were written in the revolution of October. As was his destiny, coincidentally, to come to be a cookie.

The ones that receive these cookies have a decision. Through time, the act to consume enemies have been seen as a way to absorb their powers. On the other hand, consuming the body and the blood of the dead person as a sacrament have also been a form of worship. We would want to indicate that, at any rate, the result is always shit.

For those a little delicate, we have tried them, and although they be a little sandy, they are delicious. The green dots, by the way, they are just candies.

Imagine if someone had done that to gladys hammond! As tactics go this is more likely to turn stomachs rather than hearts and minds.

17.04.2009 08:36

This is a very late April fools joke. April fools day was on April the first! Trotsky was buried not cremated.

Get your facts right


fukkin stupid psuedo-anarchist-religious lunatics, go fuck yourselves!

17.04.2009 08:46



well, I suppose its better than trying to organise the class struggle or something useful.

This kinda mystical psudo-religious stunt puts me off anarchists. Fuck off.

If you ridiculous idiots represent 'anarchists' then I think I might even become a Trot!

Yay, permanent revolution, transitional programme, etc etc.

Burgundy TSG steak


TSG lovers will melt over this

Serves 2

You will need

* For the marinade:
* 235 ml red Burgundy wine
* 6 tbsp vegetable oil
* 6 tbsp soy sauce
* 8 tbsp oyster sauce
* 3/4 tsp crushed garlic
* 1/4 tsp dried oregano

* For the TSG steaks:
* 2 x 175 g (6 oz) fillets of TSG officer
* 2 tbsp butter, softened
* 1/4 tsp red Burgundy wine
* 3/4 tsp finely chopped shallots
* 3/4 tsp finely chopped spring onions
* 1/4 tsp ground white pepper

Method

1
After capturing your TSG officer tenderise with a riot baton whilst applying a liberal coating of pepper spray. Then remove sufficient TSG fillet in order to complete the recipe.

2

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, mix together the wine, oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic and oregano. Bring to the boil then pour into a jug and refrigerate for an hour or until chilled.

3

Place the TSG steaks in a baking dish and pour over the chilled marinade. Cover tightly with foil, then return to the fridge to marinate for a minimum of five hours.

3

In a bowl, cream the butter with the wine. Mix in the shallots, spring onions and pepper, cover tightly and refrigerate.

4

Preheat the oven to the lowest temperature setting. Grill or griddle the marinated TSG steaks, turning once, until cooked, then transfer them to a clean baking dish and place a knob of Burgundy butter over each. Place in the preheated oven for one minute or until the butter is melted. Serve with your favourite potato dish and salad. Garnish with Max Clifford for the perfect result.

Idiots, One Born Every Minute

The funniest comment is the idiot who wrote, so sure of him/herself, that "Trotsky was buried not cremated", ending his/her comment with the words "Get your facts right".
Regardless of whether this whole story is a joke or not, Trotsky was, in fact, cremated, and his ashes are kept exactly where the "bandits" claim they took 'em from. If you're too stupid for books, even Wikipedia or the simplest Google search will confirm this simple, widely-known fact.
Idiot.
