I wish these Corps. would start realizing what we all learned in sixth grade, if you hurt others you only hurt yourself in the end. I'm so tired of the violence, its just a repititive cycle that does not solve anything, yet we keep going on and on and on , When will we WAKE UP! thx Mark. PEACE ON EARTH ALREADY< ALL OVER, NOW!

This is sickening,but it is no surprise.From Nigerian oil companies to Coca Cola in Central America,big business has used whatever means at their and the relevant states disposalm,tobrutally crush workers and citizens .This has resulted in deaths and injuries ,and destruction of communities.
The fight is global,and it affects each and every person.I saw in Britain,that the only way to gain rights,is to educate,agitate and organise.
Chavez is labelled as a villain,for improving healthcare and education for the Venuzualan people,the Sandinistas (when they were radical),were labelled evil by the Reaganites.It appears that everyone,not on message ,and not licking the a+&e$ of the corporate class,is a target to be met with brutal resistance,by the unelected forces that are really in power.
It seems that people in South and Central America countries are still taking the fight to those who would despoil their lands,take away their rights,and use employees as commodities to be bled dry,while working in increasingly dangerous conditions.The west needs to wake up ,apart from France, Spain and a few others ,the light of awareness and resistance has dimmed.We are seeing our living standards eroded,our security which we once took for granted ,and our democracy completely dissapearing.Its only ever been a partial democracy it was still something worth holding onto,and improving on.
It is the same people who are attacking Peruvians,who are poisoning the earth,threatening whole species of animals,and creating the food shortages.They are linked..not always in a conspiratorial,secret society way,they have so much hegemony in the west,that they don't always need to be secretive G8,World Bank,the oilmen,the corporations are making the world safe for bigger and bigger profits...

Long live the working class!

Let's take our workers' rights back from the exploiting class who stole them!

Let's democratise our economy!
