The tale of a country wallowing in economic depression, a third of its people out of work, many roaming the streets seeking something to do, something to eat… someone to blame. They rise up – the college students, the youth, the aimless striking out at hapless targets of their anger which is anyone who does not join their ranks. They throw epithets, punches, stones and Molotov cocktails, setting fire to businesses, homes and even human lives. Their ranks grow, upper echelon organization1 increases, violence spreads and their anger is not assuaged but redoubled.
Is it Nazi Germany, Mussolini’s Italy, Franco’s Spain, Bolshevik Russia, Tito’s Yugoslavia, Mao’s China or Castro’s Cuba?
