The Grey Blur

First stop: bellaciao.org
Run by some Italian exile nutjob, and don't even try posting, they're still stuck in the USSR anti-Yankee line, but a very good source for links to other French blogs. (I managed to collect a whole series of web-sites on Ivory Coast, for instance.)

Solidarity!

Happy birthday

"sane and reasonable" i have me moments. bad mood swings i have, but seriously upon registration i had doubts about abortion, especially late term, but i've now come to the logical conclusion that I support abortion in all instances and that it is the choice of the 'mother'. i'll be making an appeal shortly.....

yeah

"Our atrophied brains reminded us of birds which, when we go to let them free, to let them escape, do not know how to fly. I was overcome with sadness. I told myself: God made our brains not to let us think. Then, suddenly, in '69, they began to function again. We broke the cage, and we began to fly again."

It's attributed to someone on strike in a FIAT plant in Italy during Italy's "Hot Autumn", IIRC. I got it from a book called Transnational Moments Of Change: Europe 1945, 1968, 1989. There's a good discussion of the Italian situation in 1968/69 in it.

Yeah, back in the country looking for work. Gramsci's a good read; often difficult but worth it

Sorry I refused your friends request because I thought you were CWI....We (Maoists) consider them on the verge of being social-fascist...And also as someone raised Protestant in a mixed marriage with a long history of Republicanism and Socialism on my fathers side I find their labelling as sectarian things both I and my dad (who is a moderate tankie) support incredibly annoying.

Have you left the CWI?

Hey man hows things?

Thanks! I didn't realize people knew about me arguing with the EDL.

Thank you very much! ;-P If you'd like give me the results. I would love having a text with the interview. I will give it to my team if you don't have a problem.
