Commie march in Munich, May 1, 2010

You may have read about some Communist marches in Europe but I'd like to share my experience with this 'non-event' that happened in Munich. 


There were more police than protesters and the 200 or so (rough estimate by me) protesters seemed to be those self-same protesters that AstroTurf themselves at every anti-government rally.  Most of the people wore outlandish outfits and the whole thing seemed to be a college frat party rather than a protest that actually had a point.  The picture above is a flyer handed out.  The back of it had paragraphs (in German) about how the Capitalist System in Germany is big and bad and needs to be overcome with the nice Communist Party Ideas.  There were some skinheads therein as well as banners saying that Communism should overcome Capitalism.  As the music truck lumbered by you realize that these people are just protesting to protest.  The entire group seemed so ignorant that one would estimate that about 2 people in the group were intelligent enough to actually believe what they were protesting.


The iphone video below tells the whole story.
