Last week, beside several solidarity parties, we were invited, we also were on propaganda tour.

LAST WEEK’S MSSC STRUGGLE REPORT (서울, 南朝鮮)

Now one week has passed and if we would be able to celebrate the system to death (we already wrote about the issue here) we already would have socialism, or much more better, communism (no exploitation, no oppression, no rulers, no parties, no state, no money, no police, no army, just two hours work per day…), because in the last week our principal occupation was just to follow invitations to solidarity parties – supporting our struggle – organized by students of different universities in and around Seoul. But it was great experience! THANX A LOT, DEAR COMRADES!! Since Friday mainly we are on propaganda tour in our former home regions, to organize the struggle against government’s policy. One group went yesterday to their home area around Dongdae-mun. But while they gathered there with the comrades they’d to learn that also immigration police gathered there and nearby at least 200 riot cops were in readiness. So, maybe you can imagine, that it was not a pleasant tour there, not really. Today from around 10 am we’ll participate on the LOTUS LANTERN FESTIVAL, the last and main day celebrating Buddha’s birthday (some of our Nepalese comrades are Buddhists). On the street in front of Jogyesa (temple), somewhere between Jong-no and Angug-dong you’ll find us. There, of course we’ll also agitating for our main issue – STOP CRACKDOWN, LEGALIZE ALL MIGRANT WORKERS… Just see you there!
