Only the ruling class mourns its dead heroes�

[chebol]

Only the ruling class mourns its dead heros� Come join us in sedition !

If Howard, Beazley et al are to give Packer a state memorial service, surely the least we can do is hold our anti-state, anti-capitalist dis-memorial celebration? Addressing for instance, the growing concentration of media in OZ - and how Howard is thus thanking Packer for his support in winning many elections, etc - & his tax evasion/avoidance; & his role in the commodification of sport.

Our poster is an homage to Chips Mackinolty's poster when Menzies died in 1978 - an image of Menzies with the main text "Pig Iron Bob, dead at last" followed by "Obscene imperialist rites for militarist, witch-hunter"; & with "Only the ruling class mourns its dead hero".

So, "Tax Cheat Packer, dead at last; Obscene, taxpayer funded rites for capitalist monarch; Only the ruling class mourns its dead hero"
Our background words come from letters-to-the-editor in the SMH � the peoples-voice: �No need for an elaborate state memorial service for Kerry, when so many politicians could simply gather, as usual, in one of the great man�s back pockets.�
And the photo ? "Kevin! Gimme your kidney, Kevin!"

While the (mainstream) media speculates about whether James� ex-wife Jodhi Meares, & Kerry�s �friend� Julie Trethowan will attend, consider whether Kerry achieved the kind of successful euthanasia that is not available to ordinary � not-rich � folks ?

If you don�t support government as a welfare state for the rich, come & join us outside Howard�s obscene event at the Sydney Opera House on Frid 17 February at 11am. Hey, just as Bob Hawke declared a public holiday when Australia won the Americas Cup, the least Howard can do is make his Packer-dead-day the equal of the Queen�s-birth-day, Australia-day, Xmess-day, etc, via his WorkChoices legislation.

11:00am Friday 17 February
Sydney Opera House / Circular Quay - Customs House
