Perhaps it would be a good idea to organize also just walk-togethers, without some definite anti-agenda. Just demostrating our solidarity and humanity by walking together, and getting exercise.

because as I understand it, Germany is affecting austerity policies all over Europe and, now, with Greece out of the picture, the question is who will go under the bus next? Spain trade unions want to know too?

that didn't feel quite right. Then when I read more stuff from the site and attack against Syriza of Greece, I got it: Aha, RW libertarian site.

Iceland does not show Europeans that Greece should be kicked out. The lesson is that banksters and their politico runboys should be kicked out.

elsewhere. If it's not obvious or if you don't know me, I detest Ron Paul etc. more than the standard batch republicans.

just find them silly and naive, and to tell truth, quite pitiful. I have lot of patience with them, with their blind capitalistic self-deception and fear, as I respect and share the anti-authoritarian side of the movement.

Hardcore fascists I have no strength to be patient with, I just avoid them and give no attention.
