This is fucking awesome. At least this time we didnt see Nike boy trashing the Nike store. I think that France has some of the most interesting protests in the world. Why cant Canada be like this? Oh yeah, because Canadians are "peaceful".

Francophones, what does "L'inaccompli" mean?

From: [identity profile] dobrovolets.livejournal.com
I had translated it as "unfinished business", but I'm only marginally Francophone.

It's fitting you put a picture of Bush, because it means "The unaccomplished."

The slogans on the first frame, despite their simplicity, betray a level of education that you would never read around here.

Les riches au goulag!
Mort à la valeur!

"valeur" is like wage, right?

The reason this doesn't go on much in the United States is that the bosses have managed to infiltrate the Left effectively enough, sometimes with mere attitudes regarding so-called 'pacifism' that protest is essentially muzzled before it even quietly lines up on the street to get shaken down.

See this book as soon as you can:

'How Nonviolence Protects the State' by Peter Gelderloos (Signalfire Press, 2005
$8US/$10CAN

http://www.signalfirepress.org

They actually give permission to pirate the book in the beginning. I wish i had the means to reproduce a few copies. I may actually type the thing out. I dunno. However the Wooden Shoe bookstore in Philly, just north of South St., carries it; that's where I picked it up.

Ward Churchill's Pacifism as Pathology is also worth checking out.

I need to see some of that in Chicago. The last time we had a good riot here was the same year as the '68 rising in France. I'd like to see the words of the second picture on some window in Chicago. It would tickle me to no end.

But if nothing else, France is the place to go, if you want to get on a good riot, out all of the Western core nations at the moment.

"guerre au travail" = "war on work", right?

I'm heartened by both the sentiments and the fact that I can read most of those slogans - my French is a little better than I thought, apparently.

Fantastic pics from France. Love that "Inaccompli de '68" especially. Can't help hoping there's something really revolutionary going on there...

Great immigration post too. Do wonder though... if you turn his (ironic) argument round: if the immigrants already there in the US were to succeed in unionising themselves and winning decent wages and conditions and forcing employers to keep to them, would that stop or greatly reduce the flow of immigrants because the employers would no longer be able to use them as cheap labour? And if so, what would we reckon to the xenophobes campaigning for union recognition and labour rights as a means of halting immigration???

(Yes, there is some devil's advocacy going on here...)
