***The Red Flag (Bandiera Rossa) Is Starting To Fly In Europe Again- Fight For Workers Governments Now

Markin comment:

In parts of Europe, defensively for now, I have been seeing more red flags than I have since before the demise of the Soviet Union some twenty plus years ago as the working classes see a little more clearly that they are to be the collective "fall guy" for the capitalists' rotten, outmoded system. The class struggle rages on, as always. We have to even out the odds, make it less one-sided (with us on the short end) than it has been thus far. The clear point right now is to instill the need to fight, and fight to the death if need be, for workers governments. Still it is nice, if only for a moment, to see those red flags becoming more prominent in Italy, Greece and Spain and elsewhere, if not in the United States. Yet. Forward!
