Year 1, no. 1. Sunday February 9, 1890;Translated: for marxists.org by Mitchell Abidor.In Paris last Thursday a meeting organized by the famous Basly [1] took place in the thirteenth arrondissement. There was a debate, and the other famous person, Paulin May [2], was there to participate. It seems he was attacked with sticks and stones. Five or six politicians were more or less seriously wounded. If only, like the two lions in the fable, they would devour each other so that nothing was left on the battlefield but their two tails, at least the people could pick them up and make a bouillon of them (pigs tails also make a very good one). 1. Emile Basly – leader of the miners’ union in the north of France 2. Probably Paulin May, who defeated Basly in an election in 1889 From : Marxists.org Events : ---------------------------------- Ça Ira -- Publication : January 31, 1890 Ça Ira -- Added : January 17, 2021 Ça Ira -- Updated : January 06, 2022 About This Textfile : ---------------------------------- Text file generated from : http://revoltlib.com/
