This is great. Are you the awesome Christie Books person who was on Brightcove back in the recent day? If so, you rule. If not, you still rule! :)

[MalyKrtek77]

Unfortunately not, I wish I would be that person! Then I could watch all the movies, which have been hosted there, 'till brightcove decided to gave up that service in favour of their platform there you can pay for hosting your videos...

However, there's a chance that Christie Books can open a new Anarchist Movie Channel. If we all make a little donation, it will be no problem.

Btw thank you but I refuse to rule alone that would be oppression. =;o)

I thought it was time to rise up against all capitalists & bureaucrats.

@hecatesmagickchild

it's hard when the capitalist police would beat the shit out of you for just standing there with a fuckin banner dude .......... yet again back in the day we were shot on the spot ........... or our blood was used to grease train tracks ........

[stinkbegaaier]

@hecatesmagickchild I agree with you. The problem is that the avarege human of this era can be satisfied with a tv and a microwave oven. Like a zombie watching the screen while like a cow chewing on its food never asking any questions in fear of discovering the grim truth.

@ILovKenny yeah it sounds cool with the piano.

[ILovKenny]

@DJAnarchoRedist Well. Thanks. I've already found out. Though isn't it great how it sounds in this film that it's slowed down? ;-P

[DJAnarchoRedist]

@ILovKenny A Las Barricadas.

[DSXmachine]
