: Debout, les damnes de la Terre, debout, les forcat de la faim!
: La raison, tonne en son eratere: c'est l'eruption de la fin,
: Du passe faisons table rase, foules d'escalves, debout, debout!
: Le monde va changer de base: nous ne somme rien, soyons tout!: C'est la lutte finale, groupons nous et demain,
: L'union syndical sere le genre humain.

: (Arise, ye prisoners of starvation, arise ye wretched of the Earth:
: For justice thunders condemnation, a better world's in birth.
: No more tradition's chains shall bind us, arise ye slaves no more in thrall;
: The Earth shall rise on new foundations, we have been naught, we shall be all.
: 'Tis the final conflict, let each stand in their place;
: The International Union shall be the human race!)
: Mike, The Everett Citizen
: Debout! Debout!
A friend of mine visited the USSR in the early eighties. He told me about the most common saying in Russia - "Investia and Pravda, news and truth. There is no news in the truth and no truth in the news." The greatest impression he got from the heart of world socialism, the utopia of the working class, was that the soviet working class was still trapped in a 1930's style depression, but not the communist elite. And then, there is that nastly little Berlin Wall, with a bright modern happy free society on the west side and another 1930 style worker's utopia on the east side. The CNN live broadcast showing the east germans destroying their own wall - do you think it was staged? That single man standing in front of the tank in the square - another captilist plot?
Workers of the world unite! The only thing you have to cast off is the oppression of the Kark Marx wanna be's and power hungry Lenin clones! Unless, of course, you enjoy living in the 1930's or like being on the receiving end of another starvation campaign like the one Krushechv inflicted on the Ukranian peasents. He did it for the children, didn't he?
