"The great means for the defense of the revolution remain as ever that of depriving the bourgeoisie of the economic means by which they rule, of arming everyone (until such time as they can be induced to toss their weapons aside as useless and dangerous toys) and of interesting the great mass of the population in victory. If to win, we have to set up the gallows in the public square, I would prefer to lose." - Errico Malatesta ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barry Stoller" <bstoller at utopia2000.org> To: <marxist-leninist-list at lists.econ.utah.edu>; <ANTINATO at topica.com>; <anti-capitalism at yahoogroups.com>; <kominf at kominf.pp.fi> Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2001 10:12 PM Subject: [anti-capitalism] Argentina: Saa resigns
