They at least show >they are determined to take the ideological fight to the class with >whatever puny resources. > >Ted Crawford Bob Malecki and Cockroach proudly say hats off to the workers power group for their efforts to take up a class perspective of the now dead Diana! Although I have many differences with this little group they should be defended for confronting the mass hysteria raised by the bougeois press over the demise of this English mother to the future heirs of the viscious imperialist and monarchist "empire".. In fact Cockroach and Malecki stand on the side of the French Revolution and the San Clotes who lined them up in front of the Guiotine as a great step to remove these feudal reactionaries and pave the way for the modern industrial proletariat by taking off their heads! And even more so their bank accounts! Warm regards Bob Malecki ------------------------------------------------------- Check Out My HomePage where you can, Read or download the book!
