"Pull him down! Pull him down! He will fall, he will catch fire, put him out! . . . What is he doing there?"
"He is putting the fire out, your Excellency."
"Not likely. The fire is in the minds of men and not in the roofs of houses."

"A general strike would be impossible to ignore. Millions of people showing up on the mall demanding change, coupled with millions of closed businesses..."--DoughtyOne, Autobiography of a Useful Idiot" Between 5 and 7 December [O.S. 22 and 24 November], there was a general strike by Russian workers. The government sent in troops on 7 December, and a bitter street-by-street fight began. A week later the Semenovskii Regiment was deployed, and used artillery to break-up demonstrations and to shell workers' districts. On 18 December [O.S. 5 December], with around a thousand people dead and parts of the city in ruins, the workers surrendered."
