3/21/2005 A story that I've written about a couple of times in the past is about the Zanon Workers Collective in Argentina. There are actually around 200 of these co-ops in Argentina, this one (which makes ceramics) has been effectively run, managed and maintained for several years now. They are an awesome example of the power of the working class and an inspiration to the possibilities of a worker run society. Unfortunately they have caught the ire of the Argentine government that's not fond of such a shining socialist example. They've frequently been fucked with in the past and now it's starting again but with torture and kidnappings. This smacks of the days of the Dirty War in Argentina under the military dictatorship when thousands of leftist activists were kidnapped, tortured and killed. Also take a minute to sign the petition in support of them.
