Insomniac commentary on current issues and Marxist theory with a Maoist spin.


Pictures from the frontlines in Oaxaca

Last week I posted that the Town Center, which was the headquarters for the APPO in Oaxaca fell. That was true however, all is not lost. The commune continues as the protestors pulled back to Oaxaca state's university. On thursday, the police attempted to attack the university, but the protestors forced them into retreat. Here is a collection of photographs taken on the frontline of the battle for Oaxaca. They're minimized but if you click on them you can see them in full size. Enjoy.

    They are not getting support, other than words, from PAN.

    Again great post. Nice pix.

    Cool pictures... we're hoping to get a Oaxaca comrade to come to Britain and do some talks.

    That's because PAN is a bourgeois party. Despite its rhetoric, it represents the same exploiting class as the other two parties. Not only has PAN not supported the Oaxaca struggle, it has worked actively to repress it!

    CSC,

    I think Ren means the PRI or PRD who are more leftist ruling parties. PAN is right wing and where Fox is from.

    This issue is very important. Thanks for keeping attention focused on it. Popular people's movements desperately need solidarity from everywhere.

    Is it time to plan a trip to Oaxaca?
