Antiwar demonstrations

'Antiwar demonstrations that invariably erupted into violence' strikes me as a suspect way of putting things. Certainly antiwar demonstrations, even in the early 70s did not invariably erupt into violence, and when they did, as I understand it, it was as often as not a direct result of police activity. Or did whoever wrote it mean to say something about what Venveremos did in antiwar demonstrations? -- Rafaelgr, March 8 2004 I find this page completely insulting. Almost reads like it was written by the FBI..Almost nothing in this article is true, I went on two Brigades and nothing in this article reflects my experience. Particulary the part about people not being harrassed by the FBI after they came home. I was fired or forced to leave 3 jobs in the 70s after visits to my employers from FBI agents. This nareticle should be scrapped. Or labeled propagandaOldpanther 12:10, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This entry duplicated the Venceremos Organization entry and the two articles should be merged. DJ Silverfish 18:46, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

As pointed out in the talk page on the Venceremos Organization, these were two entirely separate groups that just share a Spanish word in their name. Merging the articles is not at all justified. I was a member of the Venceremos Brigade in 1972, and believe that VB deserves a longer article. Anyone interested - please contact me Jim Heaphy (talk) 03:13, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
