Michael Moore can babble about Wisconsin being “a little bit Egypt” claiming that state ground zero for revolt against the unequal distribution of wealth in America, but the argument for insurrection was first touched of in Los Angeles.

Revolution Books opened stealthily in January- well before Governor Scott Walker assailed his state’s public worker’s union- cleverly situated in a luxury housing development on Hollywood Boulevard. But the craptastic architecture doesn’t back its lux claims, and the book shop-camouflaged by cheap-ass Home Despot planters- displays no hotbed of activism, making the whole a unique LA vision of class struggle and violent unrest playing out elsewhere; less Marxist Center of NYC’s Upper West Side of the 1970s, more Paris in Vegas.
