I caught the last few minutes. It looked like grim viewing. If you want to read some books on Socialism you can't go far wrong with the Communist Mannifesto by Marx and Engels. Its brilliantly written and sets out the materialist conception of history. Its cheap too. Check this site for left wing books www.socialistworker.org.uk and look for the bookmarks shop.

Cheers.
I felt sorry for those girls.
People may say that it is thier own fault for trying Heroin. The thing with Heroin with some people is that it allowa them only to mek one mistake, other vices give people chances.
I will try those books, cheers Jonesy

I just remembered another book. 'Marx for Beginners' by Rius is a great introduction to Marx. Its intelligent and is a great starting point for is ideas. The For Beginners books are often found together in Waterstones.
Mixing politics and music rarely works but sometimes people manage it; the Clash, Manic Street Preachers and Rage Against the Machine have pulled it off I think.

well, is a very complex topic......they started in late 70 but they show up until 1994, in those days they were fighting for power, today sub marcos says they only wants some changes.....i think their fight is for justice and 40 million of poor people legitimize their fight......
