Fuck Uribe, seeing how weak Evo has been and how Chavez its more talk than socialism, I'm glad that on the other hand the working class is raising against Uribe's neoliberal regime.

Whoa, missed this thread.--

Alvaro Uribe is a bastard and it's good to see workers, peasants, and indigenous peoples demonstrating against his regime.

The U.S. Imperialist media gave tons of press on "No Más Farc" rallies, and the assassination of Raul Reyes and Ivan Rios but absolutely none on Uribe's murderous war on the working and peasant classes and demonstrations of the Colombian people against his tactics.

This is great news. May good fortunes fall upon the working people of Colombia. And may Uribe rot in a jail cell for the rest of his life.
