[LaborTech] Facebook Blocks Activists Fighting Lonmin Massacre of South African Miners At Marikana
Facebook Blocks Activists Fighting Lonmin Massacre of South African Miners At Marikana

A Statement by Tokolos Stencils on Facebook banning
On Monday, exactly one week after our radical action on the campus of the University of Cape Town in which we made known UCT's collusion with white monopoly capital, and in particular Lonmin (#LonminHasBloodOnItsHands), Tokolos Stencils' Facebook account was taken down by Facebook authorities.
Censorship
The action which terrorised UCT management, Zionist supporting G4S Security, and many white lecturers at UCT, has clearly had enough of an impact that pressure has been put on Facebook to remove our account on the basis that we are not a real person.
This is an act of censorship. Facebook has colluded with our haters to censor our work and our voice. We are not however surprised because it is about time we stop relying on massive corporations to ensure freedom of speech. Such freedoms can never exist when they are managed by a capitalist ruling class. Corporations will always do the bidding of those in power to maintain their profits and to undermine radical action for freedom and justice. Therefore, freedom of speech cannot exist under corporate capitalism.
The Struggle Continues
We would like to let all our comrades, supporters, fans, onlookers, friendly media, unfriendly media and of course the corrupt, murderous, and parasitic ruling class, that aluta continua, our struggle will continue.
Whether or not we are able to get back on Facebook is irrelevant. Our struggle exists in the real world and we will continue to take political action in real life, on buildings, walls, pillars and statues, to bring forward our struggle for a better world, where land is returned to its rightful owners, were the people rule and the government (if it exists at all) obeys, and where everyone has food on the table because their labour is no longer stolen by blood sucking capitalists and their government.
Being excluded on Facebook will merely force us to work harder to share our work (whether it is under the name Tokolos Stencils or not). But this censorship will not stop us.
We are still available on the following platforms:
tokolos @ riseup . net (email)
@tokolosstencils (twitter)
tokolosstencils.tumblr.com (website)
Youn sèl nou fèb. Ansanm nou se lavalas!
Aluta Continua!
