Don’t fall in love with yourselves, with the nice time we are having here. Carnivals come cheap – the true test of their worth is what remains the day after, how our normal daily life will be changed. Fall in love with hard and patient work – we are the beginning, not the end.

Over 10,000 demonstrators marched on the streets of Nice on the first of November, to denounce the illegitimacy of G20 and the injustice of economic policies that it advocates. Indignant Spaniards and others, Wall Street occupiers, Greek and Senegalese rebels, Tunisian and Egyptian revolutionaries, Latin American, Italian, English, German, and French alterglobalization activists — all were there. Engaged in their own battles, they were united during the demonstration and a summit of peoples — witnesses to as well as participants in a veritable global eruption of people.

Good Guys and Bad Guys in Oakland
Dissident Voice Yesterday at 22:18
Let me preface this by saying I haven’t lived in the EastBay since the 1980s. However, I visit somewhat regularly and have contacts throughout the region. Some are small businesspeople. Some are anarchists living in warehouses. Some are Marxists working at a college or in a factory and some are old friends who still live on the street. The first place I lived in Oakland was off of 14th Avenue in East Oakland near Bobby Hutton Park. Then I moved to Dwight Way in Berkeley next to the recycling center. From there, I moved to the Marina where I camped when I wasn’t on the road. Then I bounced around on a series of couches and bushes until I moved to Emeryville and then North Oakland near the Ashby BART Station. I relate this just to establish that I know the town a little.
