"Soledad," he says happily. "I was wondering what happened to you. Yes, it's good to know so many people want to see Capitalism fall."
He turns to Vodya. "Where's your protest sign?"

"I spilt diet coke on it." Bassarov replies with a shrug. "I guess I could make a new one real quick, but, a lot of people are just marching without signs so I think I will be okay."

Alejos shrugs, "Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm glad you came down here for this. You said you'd do the interview with me, right?"

"Sure, that would be fine by me." Bassarov replies.
"When is the interview?"

"Later today," Alejos replies. "I'm giving a speech at this rally, when I come down from the podium the reporter will be there."

"Sounds good." He replies. "Maybe we should head over to where you will be speaking. They might have some other speakers there right now. It would be interesting to hear."

"Yeah, let's make our way there. Come on Soledad, Vodya... last one there's a counter-revolutionary Capitalist," he says in a childish manner as he starts weaving through the crowd to the podium.

Bassarov is the last one there, but only because he gets behind a heard of people dressed up like capitalists pigs. They took too much space to go around. There is a stage in the middle of the park and a bunch of people gathered around it sitting in the grass.
Bassarov takes a seat in the grass. The first speaker is a democratic socialist from New Zealand.

Of course, Alejos teases Vodya for being last, but just for a few moments. He stops to listen to the speaker from New Zealand. He finds that the Democratic Socialists normally tend to be the ones who are the least likely to take any firm action against Capitalist exploitation of the working classes.

The speaker is very boring, but Bassarov listens politely none the less. She is good hearted and although she is not revolutionary, her heart is in the right place. The next speaker is a homeless anarchist named "Stitches" who talks about the problem of homelessness adding some bashes to capitalism and the state. He is an interesting speaker with numerous peircings and blue and blonde hair.

"Stitches... that's an interesting name," he whispers to Bassarov.

"Yeah seriously. I am sure it isn't his real name. His real name is probably Matt or something like that?"

"Yeah... I guess people just remember a name like stitches more. Kinda hard to forget, y'know?"

"It could be an anarchist thing. We could make up our own names if we wanted to..." Bassarov suggests, but can't think of what he would call himself.

"I would be Melor Davidovich Guevara," he says proudly. He certainly hopes Bassarov, who is a Russian, could decipher the name and find that it is the very embodiment of Trotskyism and/or Marxism.
