It is Year 15 of the revolution, and it would seem we could continue in the tested venues of the revolution (brigades and assemblies), with its trusted tools such as the revolutionary apps, and with the thrusts of ecological reconstruction elaborated and many times reconfirmed by the people at assemblies and referendums. Yet the ex-capitalists and their fascist mercenaries continue to sow discord and destruction, and in her presentation, Mina explores case studies of how recurrent problems at zero hours have been handled by past Communist revolutions. It is Mina’s turn, and we might expect juicy revelations on life in her amorous triangle with Jean and Hélène as well as on her childhood experiences in the hell of the Palestinian conflict. Well, yes, but beyond the Illyrians and their Saint-Denis comrades, we hear more about their Russian friends, the Moscow Recycling Hounds, and their research into the revolutionary experience of the descendants of the Old Pruzzen as well as the time travel contacts of comrades Georges, Patrick, Pierre, and Pierre le Gars during and after World War II in France. And while the discussions at Illyria and Saint-Denis go on, the fascists start a new round of their nefarious reactionary campaigning, once more in the Middle East.
