“FESTIVAL FESTIVAL!!!”

A whole population with no thoughts of their own.
It should be a must see show for a perfect example of the Socialist Utopia.

And then, a dose of the stiff rigor of capitalism and free markets.

Where’d that photo come from? Something wrong with it. Look at the lines just to the left of the policeman on the ground and then going up the photo about two thirds of the way to the top. It’s been messed with by an amateur.

I have no idea...How about this one?

One thing I’ve always noticed: when the IMF starts dictating rules on a nation’s economy, that nation usually ends up going into a never ending death spiral of chaos, bloodshed and poverty.

I'm afraid that what we'll see will be nothing like this...it will be far worse.

You are correct.

Where did they come from? I am not the copyright police. It looks to me like some reporter is trying to sensationalize the story photos so I am curious.

This is constitution square. the only rioting place.

That little house is one of the guard stations at the tomb of the unknown soldier.


There is another guard house opposit and the memorial is in the center of the marble and square pattern.


If you do right down the middle to the right there is a building with McDonalds. To the right of the picter is the Grand Britagne Hotel.

The anarchist mob is stopped at the streed that divides constitution square's upper portion.it is usually where tourist busses stop.

DU and Daily Kos are enjoying this?

DU thread on Greece
DU thread on Greece (on anarchist in Greece)

If there was ever a good example of what the peace symbol means to leftist that second thread first post says it all.

I guess this wouldn’t be a good time to vacation in Greece...

I saw pics of their airport, and all flights showed canceled.
