The Class War group said it would be happy if Boris Johnson ‘left the planet' ---- A group
calling itself ‘Class War' staged a protest outside the home of Boris Johnson's
girlfriend, Carrie Symonds, claiming he wasn't even fit to be a ‘Pie Minister'. ---- Ms
Symonds had previously said she was ‘too scared to return home' following a row with the
Tory leadership frontrunner, which resulted in neighbours calling the police. ---- The
group held up signs that read ‘F**k Boris. F**k the government'. ---- Two people stood on
the steps outside Ms Symonds's £750,000 Camberwell flat, holding up a banner that read:
‘We must devastate the avenues where the wealthy live.' ---- The banner was emblazoned
with the logo of anarchist group Class War - an organisation that originally started as a
paper in 1982 but expanded into a political movement.
The group say they have had enough of ‘old Etonians running the country (Picture: Getty

Members of the anti-establishment group turned up outside the Grade II Listed building
just before 2pm today.
Among the protesters was Ian Bone, 71, who was the focus of media attention last year,
when he accosted Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg's children.
In September last year he told them: ‘Your daddy's a horrible person.
‘A lot of people don't like your daddy, you know that. No, he's probably not told you
about that.'

leadership hopeful Boris Johnson MP has been staying (Picture: Rex Features)
The father-of-five added: ‘A lot of people hate him.'
The group said they wanted would-be Prime Minister Johnson out of Camberwell, and would be
happy if he ‘left the planet'.
The veteran anarchists said they were sick of ‘old Etonians running the country'.
The group also held up signs that read ‘F**k Boris. F**k the government' (Picture: SWNS)
One protester held up a sign that read: ‘Camberwell welcomes migrants not Boris'.
She said: ‘We don't need old middle class white men telling us what to do.
‘Go back to Eton or Highgate or wherever it is white middle class men come from.'
She went on to add: ‘People who preach hate speech are not welcome in our community.
‘The policies he's going to put in are racist policies.'
Protesters said they didn't need ‘old middle class white men telling us what to do'
Boris Johnson is the favourite to replace Theresa May as Prime Minister (Picture: PA)
Mr Bone continued: ‘No more old Etonians, no more feudal aristocracy.
‘Come on out Boris! We know you're hiding under your f***ing chaise lounge.
‘We've had enough of old Etonians, f*** off!'
Asked if Johnson is fit to be Prime Minister, Bone said: ‘He certainly ain't - he ain't
even fit to be a Pie Minister.'
The protesters moved on after about 20 minutes.

Anarchists staged a protest today outside the flat of Boris Johnson's girlfriend Carrie
Symonds after the 31-year-old said she is 'too scared to return home' following the furore
that erupted over her row with him.
The protesters were from Class War and included Ian Bone, 71, who was once described as
'the most dangerous man in Britain' and recently faced criticism after accosting Jacob
Rees-Mogg's children.
It comes after a recording of the couple having a 'plate smashing screaming row' was
handed to the police and the Guardian newspaper by their ardent Remainer neighbours Eve
Leigh, 34, and Tom Penn, 30.
The group from Class War arrived at the apartment and held up signs that read 'F**k Boris.
F**k the government'.
Today, Ms Symonds described the recordings, which hear her telling the Tory frontrunner,
55, 'get off me' and 'get out of my flat', as a as a 'political stitch-up'.

The second season of the lecture hall of Avtonom is concluded with a speech by the
historian and anarchist Peter Ryabov. He will talk about the Confederation of
anarcho-syndicalists: a large union of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Ryabov was an
active participant in the CAS, and knows in great detail the successes and failures of an
organization that has become an integral part of the history of Perestroika. ---- June 28,
Moscow, Sakharov Center, beginning at 19 o'clock. ---- Meetings in social networks on
facebook ---- Since the summer of 2017, the staff of the "Avtonom" magazine has been
holding lectures and discussions in Moscow at the Sakharov Center - one of the few
remaining independent sites in the capital for open events. Our themes are the history and
modernity of anarchism, protest movements and free thought in Russia and the world.

"It is no coincidence that where the governments of Papandreou and Samara failed, we
succeeded " ---- Alexis Tsipras (13/12/2017) ---- What is going to change on July 7? You
will tell us, obviously, "the government of the country will change, SYRIZA will leave and
ND will come." Right. But, elsewhere we go. We mean, what does that really mean? That is,
what really changes and what remains of these ups and downs? "The state has continuity,"
as Tsipras had said in a very mute and sincere manner, making a clear statement of
submission to his real bosses. And that's why he followed the policy he followed by doing
exactly the opposite of what he had been pre-election, "succeeding where the former had
failed": salaries and pensions reductions, privatizations, cuts in all public benefits,
phasing out Sunday holidays, raising taxes, raising commodity prices, change of the social
security system, first-time housing auctions, attempt to abolish the right to strike by
challenging the workers' collective bodies, maintaining the same (anti) immigration
policy, absolute implementation of the NATO war machine requirements, tightening the penal
code " photographing "dynamic policy intervention practices, etc. Let us say that SYRIZA
has been adapted, as expected - at least for many of us, it was! - in fact, imposed by
capitalism. Now, to what extent he was previously aware of this reality and of his
self-evident imminent compliance with it, is another conversation, and we, the people of
the social base, actually do not even concern us. No surprise here, since the chapter (in
whose service the state is) is obviously and would not voluntarily give up even the
slightest part of its sovereignty. Whenever and wherever this happened, let us remember
that it was the result of the bloody struggles of the working class. Consequently,
someone, even if it is not very observant, concludes that the state does not look so much
as a ship that flies in the open, with his boat spinning as the steering wheel comes, but
perhaps perhaps more. in a metro train, with the one sitting in the driver's seat to have
more management and supervision: not to make mistakes, to ensure smooth operation, to
"bend" something to intervene directly and decisively, etc. There is no reason, of course,
for the rest.
Could someone reasonably ask: "That is, nothing will change with the change of government?
Here the "left" will fall and the "right" will go up! This can not mean anything ... "It
would change, we would answer (when we stopped laughing about the inclusion of SYRIZA on
the left), but not the essence, not the hard core of the policy that has been and will
continue to be applied independently of the acronym that governs each time. The rapid
devaluation of the labor force and the further compression and weakening of the social
base, as well as the repressive measures that guarantee the implementation of this policy,
have never ceased to re-start now.
"Super-simplification" you will tell us. "Maybe a little, but not so much", we will
answer. Yes, the ways of implementing the new and old measures will be "frightened" and
the process of voting and applying will be speeded up - that is certain. Also, the world
of the race, those and many, few and few words, stayed to fight and after the advent of
syrizaikis "hope" will certainly become the first and easiest target of glee vengeful wave
of repression, which, indeed, would the shows as "favorites" of the former government (and
come on after in all this stupidity ocean overflowing from the mainstream media and social
media to prove that there are elephant, you're, say, the only proven, as evidenced by the
adulteries, arrests in imprisonments, etc., which accepts and receives repression from any
government, steadily and over time, always and probably ... forever). As you can see, it
is the mourning of victory and power, as ND wants to recall in any direction that she is
the neoliberal right of this place. And with her right, why, you are not a little to see
for four years that your opponents are doing better than you, without you! Thus, the
policies of local and international capital will be presented incompletely, and not made
up with a thousand two cheap ornaments. When they stand, they will not tell us that they
are supposed to do so "for our sake", as the previous ones, but they will tell us to block
it "in order not to have more". But this is not da and no ... cosmohistorical change, eh?
If it is to choose,
And to solve a question - to those you have come up to this time - probably created by the
title: "backward" has not been put by Greek society as a whole. No. The bosses know that
there is no one better able to serve their interests than a neoliberal right, steadily
becoming increasingly far right, picking up every throttled fascisture that circulates out
there and mincing it (and perhaps coextensive with an even more frightened fascist) and ,
in an ideal environment, with social and class resistances in an unprecedented recession
due to their incorporation and disintegration by SYRIZA. Why should they hide it? People
vote for their class interest. Those who retreat steadily are those who, with any
contradictions and differences in their starting points, methods, and targets, flooded the
streets and squares some years ago, in marches and strikes, refusing to accept ignorantly
their devaluation and impoverishment. And perhaps they dared to hope for something more
than the re-establishment of their "former acquirements". They are, therefore, bewildered,
those who have left the road and the real struggle in the workplaces, schools,
neighborhoods, etc. to put their hopes on the parliamentary road and SYRIZA - which
finally broke the berries in the impasse at which this choice led them. And instead of
reacting again, they would go back to the streets, more angry and more determined this
time because of the mockery they had suffered,
Step back, then, assigning to someone else to incarnate instead of us hope.
Step backwards, the inability to reconstruct the movement, when the impasse of the
parliamentary path became evident.
A step further behind, which until today we did not seem capable and able to overcome this
numbness and this weakness, while the opposing class camp is organized and upgraded
steadily and methodically, employing even the gangs of neo-Nazis.
And so on...
If there is something in our minds that really makes sense, which may actually mean the
diversion from the predictably destructive for humans and the nature vertiginous course
imposed by capitalism on a global level, it is nothing more than that militant -organizing
the social base, the exploited and the oppressed, in the light of their own class
interests and with the prospect of a society of solidarity, equality and freedom, without
classes and states.
At least, this hope, in spite of the times, continues unceasingly and continuously to resist.

Shite. Is there any other word for it? Pishing it doon, get soaked by some prick in a
shitey BMW and a midlife crisis and within pitting distance of the open air pish house
they call a bus shelter. My intended destination. ---- Lucky me. Can't drive so here I am.
The dirty polythene shelter, despite the obvious smell of ammonia, is keeping me somewhat
dry at least. Might as well check the timetable I guess. Not that I actually believe its
accurate. Nah, fuck that. I'm just trying to keep warm. Mah room has been bloody freezing
the last fortnight, radiator is probably fucked. And this is hardly doing me any good.
---- Let's see. Racists scrawl, fitba stickers and oh advice suggesting that I should be
getting a taxi, and there it is the times. Shouldnae have bothered. Just shite. That taxi
shite was pissing me off. Like anyone can actually afford a taxi round here, can barely
get the bloody bus. Honestly fuckin...
I turnt about. Some auld boy came up to the shelter and brought me back to the bus
shelter. He asked me the time before lighting up. I wish I had mah earphones. The auld guy
seems an alright sort but I can't be arsed dealing with anybody. Besides what happens if
it transpires he's a cunt. Then Ah might git stuck with said cunt. Aye, misanthropy is the
wey to go.
Fuck me. It's too cold. Freezing mah bollocks off. Maybe it'll snow soon and I'll get off
work for a bit. Speculative thinking but a boy can dream. Some dream too, getting away
from work for a few day.
There. The 101 is actually about here. I heard they were closing the depot. I'm lucky to
even be on a bus these days. There's bugger all here theses days but then again there's a
co-op opening soon, better watch out we'll be at risk of gentrification soon. Maybe I'll
leave.
And here we are. The doors struggle open and I do my best to ignore the driver while
scanning mah ticket. I get my way to a seat, wading my way through the water which has
collected in the aisle of the bus and is sloshing about. Maybe they've got a leak,
wouldn't surprise me. They're ancient things, everybody is fucked if we crash. Thankfully
I got myself a seat by myself. Some cunt once sat on m on a bus, unintentional but still.
They could've apologies or maybe even acknowledged it. I don't know. How the fuck does
that bother me?
I don't even mind being one busses most of the time but Christ when they're bad, they're
bad. Between school weans, screaming weans in prams, people shouting on the phone. It's
all shite. I once saw a guy get on a bus just to do a pish and then got off immediately.
Clearly he forgot that bus shelters were just as good.
I'm just gonna switch off. At least its pretty quiet. Maybe I'll catch up on the backlog
of sleep that I've been meaning too. Actually fuck that. Somebody will probably take my
spleen. Can you actually harvest spleens? I don't know. Christ mah heid is morbid.
No like my surroundings help. It's grim. Maybe I'll actually leave some day. Who hasnae
said that though? And here we are thousands of souls who are dammed to stay here. Is it
actually that bad though? Or am I just blinkered? Guess you can never see the full picture
when you're so close. Maybe I'll piss off to some island.
I miss the sea. There's just something about it. For some folk it constrains them, boxes
them in but I always think it makes the world much bigger. I miss the days of being at the
seaside as a wean. Getting soaked cause you couldn't resist jumping in the sea and then
getting a pokey hat, normally after terrorising your folks. Then you get older and realise
how grim these seaside town actually are. Imagining yourself actually living there...
A girl just got on the bus. Well she tried. Forgot her student card and that's her out on
her arse. Gave the driver a right earful. The driver could have a bit of actually
possessed an ounce of empathy but I don't envy him. He's got a shite job. Has shite
bosses. Shite pay. And then has to put up with the rest of the shite. Mind you some
bastarding bus driving prick closed thi door oan mi ance, utter prick. Ach fuck it.
Nearly here. Get aff an get oan. Nae else to be done. Ah start to make mah preparations to
get aff the bus, alit the bus. At least that's what some folk say. Shite. Who actual has
tae say that? Pricks. Ah ring the bell and thi bus trundles tae a stop. That's mi.
Negotiate mah wey doon tae thi front. Hope tae fuck thi bastard actual stops the bus.
Thay've goat form.
Wi trundle tae a stop. Ah thank the driver, mair oot ae habit than actual sinceritie. Ah
step aff an that's mi... ?

Leninism-Stalinism in Russia is represented most massively among the currents of state
socialism. This is due to nostalgia for the empire of the USSR and nostalgia for the
social state - both feelings are merged to some extent. Many dream of living in a mighty
state that not only conquered distant countries, but also gave the common man minimal
support in the form of social housing, free medicine, free education and pensions. At
first glance, this sounds rather strange. And then Stalin? The Stalinist USSR was an
anti-workers' state, where tens of millions of workers were starving, tuition fees were
introduced in high schools, technical schools and universities, pensions were almost
absent. Free education, the introduction of pensions and the construction of social
housing - the merit of Brezhnev and Khrushchev. But,
This desire to go back to the USSR, these feelings, tried to intercept the regime, the
whole 20-year-old epic of which was nothing more than an attempt to restore the USSR to
the best of its possibilities - from the wars in Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine and Syria to
the widespread nationalization of industry and financial Sectors (over 70% of GDP are
produced by state corporations), from the creation of, in fact, a one-party system, to the
cult of the leader. As in the case of the Soviet Union, movements in the field of foreign
policy and economy have become fatal.
The crisis of the restoration system
Wars have ceased to be popular, become ruinous. According to the polls, the majority
opposes the war for DNR / LC and, in particular, against the war in Syria. Although the
regime managed to convince a significant part of the population that the purpose of such
operations is to help the people of countries where military operations are conducted,
this is often annoying ("we have a failure in medicine and education, and you help other
countries").
The state (nationalized) economy is not working. Most state corporations are unprofitable.
The public sector is always the least efficient. It is based on receiving free subsidies
from the treasury (from taxpayers' money) and therefore is poorly organized. Why think
about improvements, the introduction of new technologies and the rationalization of
production, if the government pays for all your mistakes? The downside of such freebies is
the tax burden on the population and business, which is necessary to maintain unprofitable
nationalized factories and banks. It is constantly increasing. This led to chronic
economic stagnation or a crisis, an increase in public discontent, and a drop in power
ratings.
In the social field, the regime made a kind of movement "from Khrushchev back to Stalin" -
raising the retirement age, the collapse of state medicine. Money thrown to law
enforcement agencies. This also caused discontent of a part of the population.
Finally, the most important contradiction in foreign policy remains the same as in Soviet
times. It is connected with the discrepancy between foreign policy ambitions and economic
opportunities. The economic and scientific-technical lag behind the West (Russia is a
commodity-based economy, whose GDP is 1/15 of US GDP) leads to a dangerous collision with
a more powerful West and to sanctions destructive for the country's economy, which prevent
the Russian Federation from access to investments and high technologies, lead to
accelerated capital flight. If we add to the dependence on world prices for oil and gas,
thanks to the export of which the Russian Federation maintains its well-being, then we get
all the factors that led to the death of the USSR and its defeat in the Cold War.
New spasms?
Bolshevik restoration inevitably leads to defeat, similar to the defeat of the USSR.
Managed by government officials and individual oligarchs (who retain both control of the
state apparatus and control of the remaining private companies), the system is not viable.
However, this did not lead to the extinction of nostalgic feelings. Perhaps the modern
cult of Stalin separated from the current government, or even opposed to it as a symbol of
more successful imperial actions or a symbol of anti-corruption policy.
But in the case of a new attempt at restoring the USSR, the country will again tread on
the same rake - the non-viable economy of state socialism, the scientific and technical
gap from the advanced countries, resource dependence and geopolitical catastrophe caused
by the contradiction between excessive geopolitical ambitions and a relatively weak
economy that cannot effectively withstand USA and the West as a whole.
It is theoretically possible that in the event of a system collapse, the initiative will
be seized by liberal or liberal-nationalist movements more popular among young people. The
politicization of young people is currently going almost exclusively in this direction and
as generations change (about 2 million die each year in the Russian Federation and a
little less born), older generations where the USSR is still popular, and conservative
fans of the regime will be ousted some time.
Non-state socialism?
Supporters of self-governing non-state socialism are almost absent in modern Russia. Due
to the low level of social class resistance in the country, there are no serious mass
movements, like Bakuninism or communism, of workers 'councils fighting with harsh methods
(for example, during unauthorized strikes) for taking factories and plants into
self-governing labor collectives and then establishing on the basis of factory
self-government a system of elective committees (or Soviets) to govern the country.
Supporters of this approach can now only be individual associates in the student community
or among employees.
Thus, the future of the restoration system of state socialism (USSR, Stalinism) looks very
bleak. The system has fallen into a chronic crisis. However, it is unlikely to fall at the
hands of the self-organization of the working class. But what does this mean?
If there is no movement for taking factories and plants into self-government, noisy
gatherings remain in the squares. From there it is impossible to manage the economy.
Therefore, all the arguments that a social revolution can be accomplished, while remaining
completely outside the industrial complexes, exclusively on the streets and squares, are
meaningless. But there, on the squares, there are political revolutions. Crowds can shift
the regime by taking to the streets, but they cannot control the economy from the streets.
Even in the case of delivery of the new leadership of the state, people then simply go
home. Such is the political revolution. Political and economic (economic) power remains
with officials and oligarchs.
The power will go to those or other groups of politicians who will begin to share it with
the various groups that manage the economy. If a system crash does happen, there are two
options. Either it will result in a new attempt at restoration - an adventurous and
disastrous one, or it will be a color revolution with the subsequent transfer of power to
various organized oligarchic groups who have chosen the new liberal and nationalist
ideology as the state one.

More than 20 thousand people, according to the organizers, came out on June 15 for the
31st weekly action of the "yellow vests" movement. This time Toulouse was elected the
"capital" of the protest, where the march, as usual, was accompanied by battles with the
police. ---- Demonstrations, blockades and other actions were also held in Angers,
Besançon, Beziers, Bordeaux, Valance, Dijon, Douai, Givors, Carcassonne, Lille, Lyon,
Macone, Mant-la-Joly, Marseilles, Maubeuge, Montpellier, Nantes, Nemours, Nimes , Nice,
Paris, Saint-Egreve, Strasbourg, Charleville ... ---- In Toulouse, the authorities again
banned gathering in the central square of the Capitol, mobilized more than 500 national
police and municipal police. The march began, as usual, at 2 pm at Jean Jaurès, under the
chanting of slogans against Macron. The first clashes with the police began literally in 5
minutes, near Joan of Arc Square: the capitalist guards tried to take away the banners,
stones and bottles flew at them. "We walked in a joyful mood, sang, and suddenly with a
dozen policemen attacked us, snatching banners and beating up the protesters at the head
of the motorcade," one of the demonstrators said.
Caught in the tear gas clubs, the demonstrators were forced to return to Jean Jaures.
Having broken up into small groups, they scattered around the center of the city, where
the clashes with the police began to boil. Some demonstrators managed to penetrate the
university building on Capitol Square. After 4 pm, the area near the metro station
Kompan-Kafarelli became the new epicenter of the confrontation, and only around 5 pm
everything was quiet.
Outraged policemen attacked everything that moves. They even let tear gas on the terrace
of one of the cafes and set fire to the awning in the other.
At least 17 people were arrested; there are wounded.
Incidents and detentions of demonstrators took place in other cities. Thus, in Nimes, the
police seized 9 people for failure to comply with the agreed route of the march. In Macon,
where another "nationwide" action took place, 7 people were arrested.
The movement of "yellow vests" continues to develop its structure of self-organization.
The regional assembly was held in Maubeuge. On June 16, delegates from 17 groups of
"yellow vests" from Saint-Nazaire, Bath, Brest, Lorien, Cote d'Armor and other areas
gathered for the second regional general assembly of Brittany in Silfac. Upcoming protests
and demands of the movement were discussed. It is planned to hold general assemblies every
month, in different cities of the region, in order to continue to "federate the movement."
Not limited to the Saturday "days of protses", "yellow vests" continue the action on other
days. As an example: on June 10, about 150 activists settled on the A10 highway in the
department of Yvelines near Paris and organized free transport of cars through the
toll-station at Saint-Arnoux.
Meanwhile, under pressure from social protests, the French authorities pledged for the
first time to soften their reformist fervor. French Prime Minister Edouard Philip
announced that the time had come to revise the reform program of Macron. He acknowledged
that the intentions of the President of France to reduce taxes for big business and the
rich, the introduction of reforms aimed at weakening labor legislation made Macron
unpopular among ordinary people, and mistakes were made. "We will retain the opportunity
to retire at 62, but we will create incentives to work longer," he said.

Praying and Listening? Thanks, we don't. Let the Catholics go to hell with the Marian
Column, not the Old Man. Download, print and distribute the June issue of A3 wall papers!
---- In November 1918, a direct event took place in Prague's Old Town Square. Anarchist
Franta Sauer organized the demolition of the Marian Column as a symbol of Habsburg and
Catholic domination. During the hot days of June 2019, a Catholic direct action took place
in Prague. The sculptor Vána initiated the unauthorized installation of a copy of the
column, praying a bit, fighting with the police and clapping for a little bit. The
Catholic newspapers were at the top of the bliss and wrote excitingly about the "Column of
Reconciliation" and the "atmosphere before battle." When one feels that he is looking into
a convex mirror and has his own head like a sink on his back, his stomach like a canon and
wants to throw him.
The Czech Republic leads the list of atheists in Europe. Moreover, in the Czech Republic
there is a strong enough civil resistance to church restitutions, and the facts about how
strangely and illegally they were speculated sometimes appear in corporate media. Only the
ignorant is unable to dig in the minutes of the laws, according to which the Catholic
Church did not own the possessions in the monarchy from 1874, but only managed them, and
under which over two hundred thousand hectares of so-called ecclesial land were
nationalized during the First Republic.
No one is surprised that MEPs are ignorant in all respects and apologize for their
ignorance of laws and history. Certainly, there is no MEPs to have knowledge. That
politicians in the Czech Republic are able to prepare a local citizen several times more
than the Polish-minded Poland to give the churches what they did not belong to the
Bolshevik for a long time is the reality of the local ruling lobby.
That the power squad ignores the views of its voters is probably related to the fact that
it goes to you over and over again and can justify it before you. Then can we wonder that
the cans of elitism of all kinds will be called chauvinists and subversives when we do not
want a Marian column on Staromák, which is said to be a symbol of reconciliation and
friendship among peoples? The symbol really is. Most of all, it is a symbol of the
powerlessness of ordinary people, when they are mighty for power and let the people die.
They build a pillar for praying, because praying for survival is all that is allowed to
the figures in war except dying and killing. That is why he was defeated by the Prague
free-thinking base in the emergence of the post-Habsburg Republic - as the embodiment of
the long dark period represented by the two-headed eagle,
The Marian Column, if we take it as a pile of stones, is an insignificant thing that will
hamper the flow of tourism in the city, whose center is no longer for ordinary locals, but
for the shopkeeper who clings to the moneybox with every enthusiastic tourist, the wealthy
office and the couple elected, who can afford overpriced rents.
Politicians who have nothing else to offer are haunted by Islam, which is absolutely
marginal in the Czech Republic, and mass construction of mosques. Yet, when frowning on
non-existent enemies, the fact that another belief strengthens its power position is lost,
which it wants to confirm by renewing the former pilgrim's pillar, which is still
cynically called "the Column of Reconciliation" by so much popular Newspeak. Billions have
already been handed over to the Catholic Church, now to gain real influence.
And so every year we can watch clerofascist marches for the family with the support of all
sorts of beginners, from the Castle to zamindrákované nadsamci, who receive so much
attention, ending. The posters show us a smiling face promoting the Pro-Life
counter-movement movement, inspired by the marketing practices of its Western bigots.
Cardinal Duka sprays sulfur to trade union or people in need, when he doesn't bless some
new weapons. And so on. It should be noted that many Christians and Christians, that is,
those who understand that the purpose of the teaching of Christ is love, not hate, vomits
over it.
If we put a Marian column without resistance, it is quite possible that even in an
atheistic Czech, people without much resistance will eventually have a ban on abortion and
will have to watch their homosexual friends be publicly vilified and systematically
persecuted. Thus the Marian Column will once again become a pillar of humiliation and
shame. But nothing is lost, each of us can be Franta Sauer.
