Greetings from the land of the bratwurst sausage and the annual Mayday riot!

The abolition of Mayday (or Anarchist blindness and delusions of grandeur)

Activists and protestors are astounded and bemused by the so called cancelling of May Day

BRITISH MONARCHY AND THE POLITICS OF SUBMISSION

16-04-2004 23:34 | Analysis | Repression | Social Struggles | World

The other day, the Queen of England visited Toulouse, in south western France. First she went to church, then she had lunch with the mayor, then she christened an airliner for Virgin Atlantic Airways at the Airbus Works, and then she went home.

Democracy soon will be an old hag; tormented by fear and afflicted by nightmares. The elections will continue to exist for namesake. The rulers will be the brokers of democracy selling every remaining rag at the price of people’s fortune.
