[A-List] Re: Soccer and Politics: England 1, Argentina 0

Hola Camaradas:

Sometimes is very easy to dismiss futbol or any other sport as the "opium of
the masses", but for me, and any other socialist involved en el jogo bonito,
there is another level to futbol.  Amateur futbol leagues are one of the few
spheres where, we, the workers, have the power to organize and control our
destiny.  Each amateur futbol team is a commune, a co-operative, a team.  If
you don't have a clue as to what I am talking about, I ask you that you help
organize a team amongst your friends and see that we, as workers, have the
capacity to be leaders and, most importantly, to organize.

Que bello es el futbol!

Futbol IS the Internationalist Sport!

por el socialismo,
erik carlos toren
