As the monumental Bust of Karl Marx (the biggest bust in the world!) was watching us, "we winded on down the road" under the red-black flag of the Antifa (Anti-Fascist organisation). This picture is from my visit to Chemnitz , where we joined this demonstration with a friend
against a couple of shops who are supporting the neo-nazi scenes and selling stuff realted with fascism and neo-nazism(posters, music, buttons etc.).
Although we both went to bed at 5 am on saturday because we were at some party, we stayed loyal to our promise and we took off around half past nine in the morning with the train, hoping to catch some more sleep on the way! ;) There were already some "comrades" in the train who were also heading for the Demo.
My first impression of Chemnitz was that this was an empty city! There werent so many people around and when there were, they were usually old women with their dogs(but these looked more like rats).No wonder why Chemnitz has the lowest birth rate in the world! There arent people there to make any children anyway. The second thing that shocked me was a group of neo-nazi skinheads just running past us. They were probably running away from the large group who got out of the train.
After visiting the house of my friend, the place i was going to stay at night, we hit the road. For around 6 hours we walked with a large group of students, punks, teachers etc. stopping regulary either in front of the shops
or because some fascists were trying to attack us and our angry black block was ready to attack them back. So the police had to do the work and we had to wait and make sure that there was no danger around!But to my suprise there was no harm done to anything or anyone, there werent any burning garbage and no flying beer bottles like in leipzig. When we stopped at the city centre and the concerts began, we decided to go back home since we were tired. The night wasnt long and exciting: just some movies and documentaries... The favourite club of my friend "Atomino" was closed anyway, so supposedly there wasnt so much out there to miss anyway!

Şimdi yazıyı okumadım ama 2 şey demek isderim. Birincisi bence "He would have been" demen daha doğru olurdu.
2.si da geçenlerde Marx'ın ölmeden önceki son sözlerini okudum ve çok beğendim. Akdarayım:
Go on, get out! Last words are for fools who haven't said enough!
.
