  • You know in three weeks of protests we've heard songs and speeches from tens of thousands, but not one person has brandished a gun and yelled for the murder of that douche, Walker. Funny isn't it how differently intelligent people respond to genuine oppression?

  • @snakedoc67 Fighting against a tyrannical plutocracy is communism? If so, give me a red flag and call me comrade.

  • The world is a Les Miserables. There is a Jean Valjean, a Marius, a Fantine, a Cosette, an Eponine, a Javert, Thenardiers, a Gavroche, an Eljoras among us. The only difference is the stage is bigger, the characters are the 99 percent who numbers occupy the many places of this planet.

  • Sing this at wall street

  • Certainly a good song to choose for this - too bad it didn't work, those pesky government people don't give a crap about music. Sucks for them.

  • @paulineprojectlove

    Well, looks like the songs didn't cut it. You have to actually shut down the economy to have an impact.

  • It's awesome that they did this in Madison! Notice how the news never covered this part of it? Just the petty 'They left adhesive on the walls' bull

  • @wirchrick why didnt you put these in the description?

  • @MsOrkid just as a point of clarification, this is about an uprising in the early 1800's, not the 1700's french Revolution.

  • @langlade100 Actually, for what it's worth, the novel (and musical) refer to the Uprising of 1832 (The June Rebellion), not 1848. 

  • Some people are just a bit keen.

  • Re: the failed revolution - have you been to France lately? They lost a battle, but not the war. When we learn that life isn't only about the last, or next 15 minutes, we'll be a little more confident that Good can, and often does triumph ;-)
