Ah damn, I just moved from Chicago. Shit, keep looking around, I know hundreds of dedicated comrades in Chicago.
It goes one for the student who refuses to submit and two for the teacher who is under-paid as shit, and three for the strikes who give young bloods life and four for the years you spent stifled inside.

Damn it seems everyone in Illinois lives in Chicago. I'm stuck here in Eastern Central Illinois (think UofI in Champaign-Urbana). Kind of blows, the most "radical" scene here is a monthly anti-war peace protest that I don't take part in... I'm not really one for holding a sign and remaining just as passive as before.
Life is something worth dying for.

Death to the Stalinists, long live the revolution!
P.S. Axel, I might go to the Socialist Minnesota thing. I am interested in that last seminar, the one about "The way forward, socialist or anarchism". I've got some friends in SA and they invited me.
I am not sure which seminars I will attend, but I think I will make an attempt to attend the event from the beginning until the end.

I attended the Venezuela breakout session, and I was present the entire time. The overall event was not too bad, but at the same time, it was conducted on a rather basic level, with some flaws here and there in pretty much every session held.
The last session on anarchism had a good deal of problems in that it largely degenerated into focusing only on Black Blocs and the upcoming RNC protest, in addition to some CWI members not seeming to know the materialist basis of Marxist philosophy, dealing with philosophy in an highly abstract manner. Now that I think of it, the Socialist MN meeting was largely carried out abstractly without much focus on concrete issues.

...revolutionaries are anti-civilisation because we are opposed to what class society defines as 'civilized' and desireable; because class society and 'civilization' are two-sides of the same coin. Hierarchal organisation, parliaments, commerce, property rights, the police, law and order, fences, borders, religious institutions, these are the things that define 'civilization.' These are the institutions upon which 'civilized society' and class society are based; and all of these will be destroyed when capitalism, the state --- when bourgeois society is pulled down and trampled on by the exploited and oppressed in the struggle for liberation. - bleeding gums malatesta

United-Front Protests Demand Mumia Abu-Jamal’s Immediate Freedom
All out for united-front mobilizations called by the Partisan Defense Committee under the slogans: “Mumia Abu-Jamal Is Innocent! Free Mumia Now! Abolish the Racist Death Penalty!” Oakland, Toronto and London on April 19; Sydney on April 23; Mexico City on April 24; Chicago and Los Angeles on April 26.

Chicago - Saturday, April 26:
Federal Plaza (Adams and Dearborn) at 12 Noon. For more information call the PDC: (312) 563-0442 or e-mail: [email protected]
Against the March 27 decision by the Third Circuit of Appeals, which upheld Mumia Abu-Jamal’s frame-up conviction and ordered a new sentencing hearing that would either entomb him for life in prison or reimpose the death sentence, the Partisan Defense Committee has launched an international campaign to demand Mumia’s freedom. Protests in the U.S. have been initiated by the PDC and the Labor Black Leagues, while the PDC’s fraternal defense organizations have called the international demonstrations. Mumia’s daughter, Goldii, will be speaking at the L.A. protest.
In its 11 April call for the international united-front protests, the PDC stated: “Mumia was framed up because of his lifelong struggle against racist oppression and police terror—first as a Black Panther Party spokesman, then as a MOVE supporter and an outspoken journalist renowned as the ‘voice of the voiceless.’ The cops, prosecutors and courts—with the support of capitalist politicians, Democrats and Republicans—see in Mumia the spectre of black revolt, a voice of defiant opposition to the oppression of black people that is a cornerstone of American capitalism…. It is all the more urgent today to revitalize mass protest to free Mumia on the basis that he is innocent, the victim of a racist and political frame-up, and to link his fight to the struggle to abolish the racist death penalty.”
Responding to those who viewed the decision as a victory, Mumia underlined in an April 7 radio interview on Berkeley’s KPFA that the courts have created “a new rule” to keep him behind bars. He said, “When a court has to make up new rules and make up new law to uphold something that was unjust before, that’s not a victory. It’s not a victory. But we struggle on.” Speaking of the racist rulers’ drive to silence him, Mumia stated, “For many people, especially for those in the establishment, I represent, in many ways, their greatest nightmare,” adding, “what they fear is the black revolution reigniting.” Mumia underlined: “Remember what the elder, Frederick Douglass, taught us: that power concedes nothing without a demand.” The interview can be heard at: http://www.partisandefense.org/media...lashpoints.mp3.
Over the last two weeks, more than 300 organizations and individuals have endorsed the united-front demonstrations. These include trade unions representing hundreds of thousands of workers, such as the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) Local 1422, Charleston, SC; Amalgamated Transit Union Locals 241 and 308 in Chicago; the Victorian Branch of the Maritime Union of Australia; the Aberdeen Trades Union Council in Scotland; SUD Rail Workers Union of Paris Left Bank; the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) Western Cape, which issued a statement declaring, “We will stand with the millions of people across the world that are calling for justice to be done and will join the protest against this travesty of justice.” Other endorsers include the Day-Mer Turkish and Kurdish Community Centre in London, writer Gilles Perrault in France, Cornel West, Cynthia McKinney and Professor Dr. Heinrich Fink, Chairman of the Association of the Victims of the Nazi Regime—Coalition of Anti-fascists, in Berlin. In Mexico, Senator Rosario Ibarra, the head of the ¡Eureka! defense committee and an endorser of the protests, declared: “Tyranny imposes a duty upon us—to fight it. Mumia fulfills that duty.” For endorsers of the various united-front protests, go to: http://www.partisandefense.org/event...html#endorsers <http://www.partisandefense.org/events/index.html#endorsers> .
The PDC and LBL in the U.S. and the Committee for Social Defense in France are also building Class-Struggle contingents that will march in the April 19 demonstration in Philadelphia initiated by the International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal and the protest in Paris on the same day. The contingents will march under the slogans: “Mumia Abu-Jamal Is Innocent! Free Mumia Now! Abolish the Racist Death Penalty! There Is No Justice in the Capitalist Courts! Mobilize Labor’s Power—For Mass Protest!” On April 12, a Class-Struggle contingent of some 80 people built by the Committee for Social Defense in Germany marched in a demonstration for Mumia in Berlin of about 300 people.
PDC counsel Rachel Wolkenstein, who served on Mumia’s legal defense from 1995 to 1999, stated: “The fight for Mumia’s freedom is at a critical juncture. The recent court decision illuminates for any who continued to have illusions in the ‘fairness’ of capitalist justice that there is no justice in the capitalist courts. Every possible legal avenue must be vigorously pursued to challenge the Court of Appeals’ decision. But we cannot afford to have any illusions. The pressure that can make the courts yield is that of mass international protest, crucially based on the power of labor. Working people around the world and all opponents of racist oppression must be mobilized in the fight to free Mumia now!”
