We have luddites on this forum?:scared:


Luddites were a phenomina in 1800s british society, so no.

But I certainly sympathise with them, many workers saw their kids get sucked into mechanical machines and so did what any decent person would have done (before unions) went and smashed them up. And if you actually read the stuff they wrote, they never mentioned abolishing technology. They argued for set prices comparative to the work put into the object, (as opposed to supply and demand) and smashed up the machines to shut down factories, and attack the new capitalist economy. Of course, they were largely wrong, and many amongst them did want a return to wilderness, so I don't support them, but I certainly sympathise.

'Till full fashioned work at the old fashioned price
Is established by Custom and Law

Then the Trade when this arduous contest is o'er
Shall raise in full splendour its head
And colting and cutting and squaring no more
Shall deprive honest workmen of bread.



Regardless, it's a powerful political image.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/My_Lai_massacre.jpg

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b7/MyLai_Haeberle_P37_BodyInWell.jpg

Some 500 odd villagers killed by US forces. A photographer managed to take these pictures.

U.S news reported "U.S. infantrymen had killed 128 Communists in a bloody day-long battle."

In fact, what had occurred was the indiscriminate killings of hundred of villagers, as young as two years old right up to mid eighties. "He fired at it [the baby] with a .45. He missed. We all laughed. He got up three or four feet closer and missed again. We laughed. Then he got up right on top and plugged him."

Colin Powell was actually the one to write the report on it, commenting '"In direct refutation of this portrayal is the fact that relations between American soldiers and the Vietnamese people are excellent."

The leader of the massacre, William Calley, as well as others, was later sentenced life imprisonment. Before he had even served one day, president Ronald Nixon ordered him released pending appeal. Calley ended up serving three and a half years of house arrest. He still lives, as far as I am aware, a free man in Atlanta.

Did the tank operators know they were being taped?

Anyway, all I'm saying is there is more than one side to the issue and as Wat Tyler pointed out the tank actually turned from side side in order to avoid him.

I read somewhere that the scar came from his wife attacking him with a knife.

That was made up by Ida Mett

It was caused by a bullet cliping the side of his mouth, ripping through his cheek and exiting out the back of his head, during the revolution April 22nd August 1921, the bullet was fired from a Red army gun. In his book "struggles against the state and other essays" he commented on it saying "I love a good hacking"

It's depicted in the new film about him called "the nine lives of nestor makhno"

He climbed up on it and got told off. It's not as brave as it looks, the tanks were turning to try and avoid him and he kept moving in front of it.

I'm confused. Yeah he didnt get run over but it takes some major balls to keep moving in front of the tanks!

it looks like they all have hard-ons and Gustav V is trying to hide his from the camera yet at the same time have Gorring see it. And as you can see from Gorrings face he's enjoying it.

:crying::crying::crying::mad::mad::mad: This is one of the most horrible events to have happened (one-time events, that is). To this day, the Japanese still deny that they invaded Nanking. They claim they were "invited". I try to tell myself not to fling my hatred to the current generation of japanese, but it's really hard when you're so attached to your birthplace as I am.

CANBERRA, Australia (CNN) -- Two Australian senators were ordered ejected from parliament for heckling U.S. President George W. Bush's address to lawmakers, but the American leader shrugged off the interruption and won applause by saying "I love free speech." Anti-war politicians from the minority Australian Greens Party, Sen. Bob Brown and Sen. Kerry Nettle, jeered Bush during his speech, forcing him to stop his address. "I love free speech," Bush said as the senators were ordered out of the chamber. Both Brown and Nettle refused to leave. Brown even shook Bush's hand after the address that was capped by a standing ovation while Nettle tried to pass the U.S. president some papers, which Bush refused. Brown -- an outspoken critic of the war in Iraq and a campaigner to have two Australian nationals held at the U.S. base in Guantanamo Bay returned to Australia -- interrupted Bush as the president was talking about the end of Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq. "I didn't shout anything, I spoke very loudly so that President Bush got the message about the two Australians who are illegally held at Guantanamo Bay after President Bush repatriated the four Americans from that hell hole," Brown told CNN.

On January 30 Will Saunders and Dave Burgess will face their second sentencing hearing at the Sydney District Court. These true heroes of the anti-war movement are charged with "malicious damage" for painting NO WAR in 5m high blood-red letters on the Opera House two days before Bu$h, B.liar, and HoWARd started bombing Iraq back to stone age on March 20, 2003. The pictures were shown on prime time news all over the world, thus assuring that the world knows that Australia is part of the "Coalition of the killing".
Now the state authorities are trying to make an example of this direct action by threatening a jail sentence of now up to 5(!) years, plus charging an outrageous A$151,000.
