Sydneys wall of shame

Sydneys wall of shame - National - smh.com.au

It’s APEC in Sydney and again, whenever the ‘big’ guys get together to decide how to screw over the rest of the world, they made sure that they are not disturbed by the rabble (or rather the people that they somehow represent?)

The Sydney APEC Fence

“The Great Wall of Sydney is a wall of shame and a testament to the disastrous and anti-people policies of the capitalist leaders of APEC,” Communist Party spokesman Mr Symon said in a statement today.

Well I’m not a communist, but I have to agree on that with Mr Symon. I always wonder why the elected leaders of ‘democratic’ countries have to hide behind high walls to make their policy. What do they have to hide?

But as Michael Franti sings: “Those who build walls are pretending that forever they can defend them.” We Germans have seen first hand the power of the people and the fragile nature of oppressing walls.
