Solidarity with the proletarian revolts in North Africa and the Middle East

A tide of revolt is sweeping through Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria, Jordan, and Yemen. The Syrian regime has cut off the internet in fear that the contagion will spread to them.

Faced with this revolt of the exploited and youth deprived of a future, the dominant class has responded with a hail of bullets.
