Memories
!! OMG !! I am so flooded with the hundreds of hours spent designing, printing, postering stickering, etc., from back then. Thanks so much for this blast from the past! And learn the lessons that most of us did from the original IDAs: That it's impossible to protest against social relations. Capitalism is a structure for social relations, so you can't rally against it, you have to bring new modalities of relating into ascendance culturally and socio-economically.

Hey Greg,
I'm glad you like it. It is indeed a flashback of protest, solidarity throughout the hemisphere and tearing down fences!
Memories are not just interesting for their nostalgia, they are also reminders to tread forward with increasing vigour.
