Its still going, and its great to see stuff like this.
"a spirit of collective responsibility and organization began to emerge on an even larger scale. Across the country small cities and towns, such as Siliana and Sidi Bou Ali, came together to elect provisional councils charged with organizing local affairs. With the RCD collapsing, these elections often took place at mass meetings of thousands in town squares, where friends and neighbors became nominees for various committees: liaisons with the army, cleanliness, logistics and even "awareness" and "orientation" committees."
"neighborhoods also came together to organize collective street cleaning and garbage removal. Bakers in Tunis limited each customer to five baguettes, in order to prevent hoarding by their better-off customers, while fruit and vegetable sellers put up signs on their carts inviting passers-by to take produce even if they couldn't pay. Farmers from outside of the capital began to go door to door, offering each household a liter and a half of milk."
"In response, the interim government agreed to consult with the national Tunisian trade union federation, the UGTT, before announcing new governors."
"Within days of Ben Ali's flight, the nearly 700 workers at the major Tunisian insurance company, Société Tunisienne d'Assurances et de Réassurances (STAR), went on strike, and forcibly expelled their CEO from his office while singing the Tunisian national anthem."

This is real Socialism (dare I say communism) in action.
This is the real revolution, the revolution is not JUST protesting nor is it JUST taking out a dictator, the revolution is taking your communities, taking your workplaces, taking control of the communities and economies you live in and with.
This is the revolution that the mainstream press totally ignores, thats who tools like Bud Struggle think the left is dead, because he does'nt hear about the REAL revolution happening in these countries.
