Great post! I walked through one corner on my way to locate "friendlys" and heard one young woman explaining to an older man that, "Capitalism always leads to Fascism...and that is why Communism is the answer." She then went on with some more nonsense about "The Red Army having stopped Hitler" which somehow meant that Communism was just grand.

I looked at her and said, "You are an idiot." I know I should have stayed there to debate on a more intellectual level, but I was in a hurry to find you guys.

I stoppeed to speak to a few police officers (and there were 2 men in suits standing there also). We spoke for a while and I found out they were there because of the presence of labor union people at the protest. The 2 men I spoke to were police officers from the "Labor Division" and they had to be there to watch and be sure that nothing bad happened. I wanted to ask more questions because I could not figure out if he was there to protect the union guys or to report on them....maybe both....but I was on a mission to find my FR buddies.

Yep, communism has never worked anywhere it has been tried. It's people must be fenced in just to keep them from fleeing the system. Yep, it's the answer alright. That's quite typical of the thought processes of these people.
