Notably: On November 7, 1956, over 1,000 Soviet tanks crammed into Hungary and crushed the two-week Hungarian revolution that had filled streets with students and others demanding emancipation from the Soviets. The Soviets and Hungarian collaborators murdered as many civilians as Osama’s goons killed on Sept. 11. The West objected but did nothing, could do nothing, though France and Britain could have refrained from acting identically to the Soviets, if not worse, when they joined Israel in attacking Egypt until Eisenhower told them all to desist–not because he was willing to stand up to Israel or the Brits and the French, but because he wa sincensed that they would undermine his anti-Soviet rhetoric with colonial hubris of their own. This is just a summary to get to this, what Albert Camus said in a speech on the first anniversary of the crushing of the uprising in Hungary, which can now be spoken, word for word, in response to our fascistic shah’s response to the uprising against “ICE” in California: “I am not one of those who think that there can be a compromise, even one made with resignation, even provisional, with a regime of terror which has as much right to call itself [democratic] as the executioners of the Inquisition had to call themselves Christians.” I have changed one word, putting in “democratic” for “socialist.” Like Camus, Jacques Brel, poet of hopeful despair, wrote a song for his album released in April 1957, called “Quand on a que l’amour” (“When we only have love”), a song as powerful as Camus that someone, somewhere in California, I have no doubt, is singing now. (I ran it here some years ago. Nothing says it shouldn’t be a canticle.) See below.

I am not one of those who wish to see the people of Hungary take up arms again in a rising certain to be crushed, under the eyes of the nations of the world, who would spare them neither applause nor pious tears, but who would go back at one to their slippers by the fireside like a football crowd on a Sunday evening after a cup final. […] [O]n this anniversary of liberty, I hope with all my heart that the silent resistance of the people of Hungary will endure, will grow stronger, and, reinforced by all the voices which we can raise on their behalf, will induce unanimous international opinion to boycott their oppressors. And if world opinion is too feeble or egoistical to do justice to a martyred people, and if our voices also are too weak, I hope that Hungary’s resistance will endure until the counter-revolutionary State collapses everywhere in the East under the weight of its lies and contradictions. […] In Europe’s isolation today, we have only one way of being true to Hungary, and that is never to betray, among ourselves and everywhere, what the Hungarian heroes died for, never to condone, among ourselves and everywhere, even indirectly, those who killed them. It would indeed be difficult for us to be worthy of such sacrifices. But we can try to be so, in uniting Europe at last, in forgetting our quarrels, in correcting our own errors, in increasing our creativeness, and our solidarity. We have faith that there is on the march in the world, parallel with the forces of oppression and death which are darkening our history, a force of conviction and life, an immense movement of emancipation which is culture and which is born of freedom to create and of freedom to work.
–From Albert Camus’ “Le sang des hongrois” (“The Blood of the HUngarians), 1957.
