Wall Street protesters: We're in for the long haul

[Ideologue]

I've never heard of that dude.  Cool name, though.

Oh, he's the Solidarnosc guy.

I guess it is okay, you are just too young.

I've heard of plenty of people you've never heard of, too, Alfred.

[alfred russel]

I've heard of plenty of people you've never heard of, too, Alfred.

It is just that I  consider him one of the top heroic figures alive today.

My comment about your age was that you didn't live through the fall of communism, so he is just a polish historical figure to you.

[Zanza]

Maybe he should have been on the right side of history.

He was on the right side of history.

Lech was a nice victory for Gustavus Adolphus.

I technically lived through it, I guess.  I was like seven.

But yeah, that's basically the case.

You know what else is a cool name?  Jagiellon.  Say it out loud.  It's fun.

You wrote insane journals all the time and went to the library?

[Razgovory]

Lech Walesa is flying to NYC to support the occupy wall street movement.

I wonder if he'll be surprised when nobody knows or cares who the fuck he is?

I think he is one of the great heroes of the 20th century, but unfortunately you are right on this. Nonviolent leaders like Gandhi, Mandela, and King get all the press for peacefully fighting imperialism and racism, but anticommunism is ignored.

Very true.  I think it has to do with his peculiar situation.  Many leftists were luke warm on fight the Soviets and many right winners don't want to give so much credit to a Union guy.  That the type of person who is demonized by conservatives in this country dealt so grievous a blow to Communism is a bit of an embarrassment.

[Ed Anger]

NERVE STAPLE THE DRONES.

These protests have become tedious.

I don't think it's that political to be honest.  I think his campaign wasn't televised and in English and there's not been a film about him yet.  I imagine Mandela would only be known to a few people if he spent his time speaking Xhosa.

I'm younger than Ide and I know who he is. I saw him give a speech at the fall of the Berlin Wall commemoration in '09.

He was also in one of my high school history text books.

[Caliga]

He has a bitchin' moustache.

Guys whose biggest claim to fame is how many times they got fired and re-hired at McDonald's don't really count.

That's because Reagan single-handedly beat the Soviets and ended the Cold War.

Hey, MIM, you remember when you said there was no shame in working at a restaurant?  Apparently there is and no one ever forgets.

I meant historical figures.
