The Proletarischer Zeitgeist: What a cool fucking name!
Nov 23 2006 10:53
I think The Proletarischer Zeitgeist is possibly one of the coolest names I've come across for a newspaper. So inspired by this, I have started this thread for people to list the finest (or pretentious) names they've came across for leftie groups/papers/magazines.
Another one is the early name of the old CNT locals: sociedades de resistancia al capital
So go on, some of the tankie and trot groups must have some pretty good stuff.

NB this thread in response to this new article on history.
Hmm I'm sure I've heard some good names, but can't think of them right now. I have thought if I ever became a shouty Dworkinite feminist I'd start a mag called Y-Control...

Workers Dreadnought is one of the best old-school type names, I reckon.
But I'm still reeling from the fact that revol thinks that Zeitgeist is a good word to have in the title of a publication.

W.I.T.C.H. (Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell) were a fun feminist group. From the wikipaedia article about them:
Quote:
On Halloween 1968, women from W.I.T.C.H. staged a "hex" of Wall Street at a branch of Chase Manhattan Bank, wearing rags and fright makeup; Robin Morgan recalls that the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined sharply the next day
