When Will the Other Shoe Drop?

Been watching the coverage of today's mass protests.

Nobody seems interested on the reason behind today being chosen as the day for big protests.

This was put together by admirers of Emiliano Zapata.

Zapata was killed on 10 April, 1919. If Wiki is to be believed (and in this case they probably should be) he was influenced by the Anarchist Communism of Pyotr Kropotkin.

He definitely was an advocate of wealth redistribution by any means necessary (including violence).

The current Zapatistas, lead by the former Subcomandante Marcos (now Delegado Zero), are also interested in wealth distribution.

There is a suggestion that many of the leftists in Latin American countries are getting massive amount of funding from his Maximum Leaderness Hugo Chavez (this love letter to Chavez and other socialists masquerading as an AP news story (it needs to be read to be believed) skirts the issue)

Would anyone be shocked if the various ANSWER (also linked by LGF) like organizations working in the United States also were getting some funding from Chavez, too?

First Amnesty!

Then Redistribution!

Viva Revolucion!
