Is this the practice run for the one in Chicago that I'm supposed to attend? What is it like attending these things? Do you just buy a ticket and walk into a big hall full of communists or something, is it like a renaissance fair but withpeople dressed as red guard soldiers waving the red book around?



This is what the ideal gathering of communists looks like

the talk is quiet the sounds of stuff slamming around are quite loud just a heads up to anyone inclined to crank the volume in response to the initial quietness

i would like him to go but only if he loudly comments on what is being said around him while wearing google goggles. i will not watch the resulting video but i'll be happy that it exists out there on the tubes.

The hatred for Zionism has manifold reasons—that is, excuses. It might be interesting to list them, but it is not salient here. This is not about what cruelties and terror happen when the Israeli army penetrates the territories of the Palestinian National Authority, however depressing those cruelties may be. Such are the facts of war, which nobody ever claimed would be an Amnesty International campaign.



Are they still doing this shit, at plattymips
