He's a Dogshevik :)

[Vanguard1917]

He's a Dogshevik :)

A class-conscious canine (alliteration).

[Robocommie]

Haha, we should get that dog a gas mask.

[Nolan]

Someone should spray-paint a big :star2: on him.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Someone should spray-paint a big :star2: on him.

or just dye it? im sure it would be more comfortable with hair dye than spray paint. :lol:

[Angry Young Man]

A class-conscious canine (alliteration).

Well, working class dogs get an especially bad deal out of capitalism. Just watch "Story of a dog".

[Angry Young Man]

Grr I tried to make an avatar of him but I lack the technique :(

[Angry Young Man]

I thought it was curious when they said that Greece has gone to the dogs :laugh:

No? Fuck you!

Agreed.

I like that dog.

[Comrade Gwydion]

Not sure if it's one dog. These dogs are very common on the Athenian streets, the blue collar means it has no owner. (Wow, that sounds like a rev. slogan). What I meant was that it's a stray. When I was in Greece, we had this one Stray following us all over athens.... Even when we got up to go to the akropolis at sunrise, just hours before we got on the plane back, it slipped throught he soldiers doing the cerimony to come to us.... they're loyal, these dogs.

cutest thing ever

[Lenina Rosenweg]

It doesn't matter whether the dog's name is Kanellos or Louk, or Papandreou. It doesn't matter whether there's one dog, two, a hundred, or no dog at all.Kanellos is like Sorel's "Myth Of The General Strike"-a necessary myth.

Its fitting that Kanellos comes from Greece, the birthplace of democracy. Kanellos appears everywhere people are fighting oppression, struggling to be free.

Kanellos was in Brussels when Marx read the Manifesto before the First International.

Kanellos was at the Parisian barricades in 1871, helping the doomed Communards in their heroic struggle.

Kanellos was at the storming of the Winter Palace in 1917.

Kanellos was in Berlin in 1919, attempting to warn Rosa and Karl of the approaching Freikorps.

Kanellos was again in Germany in the early 30s, attempting to warn the KPD and the SPD of the Nazi menace.

Kanellos was in Spain with Durrutti and POUM.

Kanellos was at Stalingrad, the heroic seige of Leningrad, and at Kursk, doing what he could to repel the fascist invaders.

Kanellos was with the workers and students in Paris in 1968.

Kanellos was on board the Granma and was later in Congo and Bolivia with Che.

Kanellos was at Tienaman.

Kanellos was in Caracas in 2003.

Kanellos has been photographed in Chiapas, Utar Pradesh, and Kathmandu.

Kanellos is in Gaza and South Lebanon.

Kanellos has been sighted in the streets of Tehran and Qum.

There have been reports of Kanellos growling at monarchists in Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

There have been sightings of Kanellos in Istanbul and Seoul.

Today Kanellos is in the streets of Athens. Next month he'll be in Lisbon, Madrid, and Dublin.

Within this decade Kanellos will be in London, LA, Chicago, Mexico City, Moscow and Beijing.

Long Live Kanellos! :)

[Angry Young Man]

Wow, Kanellos is one fucking old dog!

[Lenina Rosenweg]

This is in dog years, of course. Divide by 7, something like that.

What about NYC?

This should totally be on the back side of the t-shirt, in small print though.

Multiply. So say he was a puppy in 1848 bounding around and bleaching Marx's carpets as he wrote the manifesto, he is 162 in people years, and therefore 1134 in dog years. This can only mean one thing: there are such a thing as timelords, but they're caninoid. Just wait 'til the Doctor (as in Jack, not the Doctor Doctor). And Timelords are red! Well, they are a highly evolved species.
