[lbo-talk] EU gets serious

[123hop at comcast.net]

As we were driving around Watts during the riots, my father pointed to the people running with TV sets and said: "This is the difference between a riot and a revolution: in a riot, they take TV's; in a revolution, they take over the police stations and radio stations." 

Never forgot that one.

Do you suppose the undisciplined Greek riots (for they were as much 
riots as demonstrations) had anything to do with this? 

There is a fine line between riots and militant but disciplined 
demonstrations, but the line exists. Moreover the former is a promise as 
it were of the human material available for more organized 
demonstrations.
