Egypt; one down ... Way to go people!

Today is a historic day, 11.2.11 or 11.02.2011. If you are into numerology, they are significant numbers but of course what has made this day above others is that the revolution in Egypt took a significant step forward. They ousted Mubarak, the dictator backed by the West, thirty years he reigned.

There is so much to say about it; the hypocrisy of the western rulers who have gone from saying that Mubarak is a good man (Tony Blair seriously said this and this was the sentiment of many others) to saying that they will help Egypt achieve a western style democracy. It was the actions of the people that got rid of the tyrant in the first place. They didn't need outside "help" for this, unlike the fate of another dictator (in Iraq) who was ousted by the West who also destroyed the entire country in the process with over a million or two million people killed, hundreds of thousands maimed and displaced because their dictator was out of favour, and the West fancied its geopolitical chances. The double standards are incredible.

The people of Egypt are quite capable of making a future for themselves better than their past under Mubarak, they have already set up civilian committees in towns and cities across Egypt, they have set up new unions and workplace committees to organise civilian and social lives, all this can and should continue, there is no reason whatsoever to go back and live as before under military rule. Egypt is the birth place of civilisation, they now have the capability of starting a new civilisation one without exploitation or tyrannical rule. Over the centuries the technology has built up so that life can be run with all that any one person needs across the globe, life should be organised according to our needs and not for greed.

There were over three hundred Martyrs of this revolution, I posted a few as they met their deaths on the thread below on Egypt, it is for these people that the victory is greatest, those who gave their lives for the future, for a better future, and may they Rest In Peace. They did not die in vain. We are grateful for their sacrifice, all of us in the world who want better, for themselves and for the future, these martyrs have been vindicated, their brave stand paved the way, they will be forever remembered with love and cherished for their sacrifice.

Today there is celebration, may the rightful joy the Egyptians feel tonight strengthen their resolve to complete this task that has fallen to them ... the task of human emancipation and liberation, all power to you in the streets, schools, colleges, workplaces in towns and cities across Egypt, till victory!
