Is this like the raised fist salute used by the black panthers? or the raised fist "secretly" made in the opening scene of "Down and out in Beverly Hills" by Richard Dreyfuss to show what the story was really about?? (No doubt to raise his credentials among other elite Hollywood members of the socialist vanguard, and in so doing help his flagging career)
I guess the Communists have assumed that they have "won" Spain, even though they are far from a majority... I guess they will push through their agenda as if they were -- the final lunge. Perhaps they expect that Kerry will win and do the same in the US??
It's a raised right fist... It differentiated the socialists from the hitler-like salute used during Franco's days in power. It also differentiated them from the communists who raise the left fist.
Several people in this thread have made comments about the Spaniards who voted for Aznar. I talked with my brother a couple of days ago, most of his friends had voted for the socialists and were now whinning "what were we thinking about?" He suggested that a good many people wish now that the election had been postponed until they had had time to take in what had happened. Last time the socialists were in power they just about bankrupted the nation, and now people are worried that their booming economy won't last long. Oh, well, nobody held a gun to their heads in the voting booth! Like I told my brother, you have to be careful what you wish because you just might get it.
