Julemandshæren 1974

YouTube
A public lesson in how the state serves capital was given by #Denmark's #Solvognen theatre troupe #ThisDayInHistory in 1974. Activists dressed as #SantaClaus gave department store goods to children... until they got arrested. Never forget that wealth is produced by the workers.

In Dejlig er den himmel blå [Lovely Is the Blue Sky] (Jon Bang Carlsen, 1975), more and more #Santa​s of all ages and genders descend on #Copenhagen, bringing cheer and World Peace™ to delighted shoppers. Until they occupy a factory in support of fired workers, and hand out wares in the local department store. #Anarchy ensues, children cry, mission accomplished.
