Here's part of an e-mail I received from a Comrade recently. Undoubtably many of you will already know of planned actions. I was thinking that perhaps we could build up a list of planned actions around the world. Send me a PM and I will add your protest to the list...

And people think they have taken an exceedingly bold step when they have freed themselves of faith in a hereditary monarchy and swear now by the democratic republic. In reality, however, the State is nothing else than a machine for the oppression of one class by another, and indeed no less so in the democratic republic than in the monarchy.
Fredrick Engels
I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy. Then they told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy, I was deprived. Then they told me deprived was a bad image, I was underprivileged. Then they told me underprivileged was overused, I was disadvantaged. I still don't have a dime. But I sure have a great vocabulary.

I was at the protest in Houston. I saw myself on the news. :-p
I met a woman who was at least 70 years old come up to me and talk about communism. It was weird for a woman who could have been my grandmother to talk seriously and knowledgably with me about communism. She said that she was a "stalinist", but she was not terribly orthodox about it. As in, orthodox stalinists usually don't approach trots and speak amigably with them.
There are a lot more communists in Houston than I knew of. RCP was there and so was Worker's World.
The weird thing was the COMPLETE ABSENCE of cops. I didn't see a single fucking one. However, that could be due to the fact that we were right down the street from a military base.
I flashed a peace sign at a marine and he returned it. Later, a truck full of marines drove by and yelled "GO MARINES, KILL EM ALL". That made any hopefulness I had quickly subside.
It really pissed off one of the RCP guys. He gave a really great speech later on. Even though I completely disagree with the RCP, their members are (usually) great speakers.
