I hope all readers of this journal are keeping tabs on the ongoing mass strike / pro-democracy rebellion in Tonga. It's still the epoch of wars and revolutions - even in the South Pacific - and the organised workers are on the frontlines. It's anyone's guess as to whether the Tongan people can seize power from the corrupt feudal aristocracy - and, if they did, how long the local imperialists (i.e. the NZ government) would let them keep it. But either way, it's history in the making.

Where were you reprobates last night, anyway? It was a great gig, and it would have been better if more than six people had shown. :/
