Aaah, yes, Mao! The godfather of Kim Il Sung, Pot Pot and what was the name of the Albanian guy... Enver Hoja? Great guy to remember... or are you just celebrating his death? He died too late, though. Killed millions while he was still "at the helm". China is definitely better off without this fucker and North Korea will be better off once the Mao legacy has died there.
Unluckly the ghettos are by far more ancient than German WWII occupation. The word comes from the name of the place where jews were required to live in 16th century Venice. Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto
Anyhow this wall is a perfect example of the behaviour of our (I'm italian) center-left administration, expecially at the local level. In italy there's this strange thing: upper class and poors both vote Berlusconi's center-right coalition (for different reasons) and the main center-left electors pool is in the wealthy educated middle-class, which is the more interested into keeping immigrants away from their homes and lives. Our politician really acts doing the 'good' of their electoral base (and their own too, of course), it's the electoral base which doesn't have anymore a political coscience.
The state of the left in italy is really dramatic.
of course, you're right! but we must criticize publicly such "mistakes" by the union(KCTU)! otherwise we're also guilty if the union goes in a wrong(reactionary, nationalist, chauvinist..) way!
Hey CINA! This is the reply I wrote on my blog for your question.
The workers on strike demand, the employment of "foreign" workers should be prohibited. I'm criticizing about that
even if basically I support the strike in that it is a big struggle for irregular workers' right.
I'll check the guest book. how are you?
