In italy we have not only the pope but also a movement of a lot of different
collective subjects (movement of movements). In Firenze we were half a
million. Maybe it is becouse we are less sectarians?

Sincle people coerence it is their own problem. I have no idea why they did
it, nevertheless I prefere they do something either than those who doesn't
do anything waiting for "purity".

And Harry ask what I mean by "Vietnam teaches"

The USA army in the war of vietnam was defeated by vietcong (people, not
just workers), but USA military policy against vietnam was defeated by the
struggle of millions of people in the State and in the whole world.
The anti-war movement grew upgrading and unifing the goals of different
social forces because the choice at stake was so high (quality of life
against capitalist power).
I think that this is the lesson
