Second in the holiday movie series, The Take journals the Argentinian workers who seized their factories after the economy collapsed in 2001, and the corporations fled the scene. The parallels between Argentina 2001 and the United States 2008 are incredible, first the financial system collapsed, and now in Chicago we see the workers occupying a factory their bosses tried to illegally close. Hopefully next we’ll see the delegitimization of the government and mass popular uprisings against capitalism.

Latin America is the only hope for the world to convert to Socialism, as an American I have nothing but praise for the valiant efforts of the indigenous people of Latin America who are striving and dying for equality and justice and saying no to the fascists that rule! Viva la Revolution, Viva la Chavez!
