Subject:       THE RETURN OF PROLETARIAN SHOPPING?


A French comrade spoke  at a public meeting here in Baltimore 
last night and mentioned this interesting incident which occured
in Paris around Christmas:

An organized group of about 50 unemployed people walked into an upscale 
supermarket in a suburb of Paris, sat down in the aisles and began 
having an impromtu Christmas dinner, opening up 
champagne bottles, caviar tins etc. and eating the contents. The 
security guards were caught off guard and called the police who evicted the 
occupiers but without making arrests.

Needless to say, the action was ignored by the media.
