Friday, August 21

August is the anniversary of the end of World War II. Official events are celebrating the victory of 'democracy' and 'freedom' over fascism and tyranny. But for the rulers of the Allied nations the war was never about democracy or freedom. In some ways there were parallel wars: Apart from the clash of imperialisms, there were opposition actions fought by ordinary people, mobilised by anti-fascist, democratic sentiments. 6:45pm.
