I think this is bullcrap (and I couldn't even finish it, it's too long and obviously wrong).

You are trying to argue that it's okay to call it a festival because many other people and movements have used song and poetry? That's crazy. You are responding to a strawman. I don't think it's inappropriate to use song or poetry, but to call it a FESTIVAL means something entirely different. The first definition of festival in the dictionary is "An occasion for feasting or celebration" - which many people on "the left" don't think is appropriate, and I'm among them.

You are right about ANSWER but I think you put too much stock in UFPJ. UFPJ these days is dominated by only slightly less crazy authoritarians than ANSWER.

And there are plenty of people who aren't UFPJ, ANSWER, or sectarian/authoritarian/whathaveyou who don't think it's appropriate to call a demonstration about massacres a festival. You come across as bitter here, and I wonder how much of your bitterness is because you didn't get to sell as many copies of your CDs this way.
