Have the bums lost?

Your revolution is over, Mr. Lebowski. Condolences. The bums lost. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?
I found this flyer in a pub the other night, and it really made me wonder if the bums really had lost:

Translation (important note : No it does not make any more sense in German!):
The Unified International Struggle and Holiday of the Jobless.
We will meet 13:00 at Senefelder Platz for a mighty demonstration. This year our cause will be carried by an even larger union of responsible initiatives, strong collectives and individuals who make a difference. Now as in the past our aims are the removal of the coercion to, and bondage of working for a wage, the free self-determination of ones life, the fight against the polution of absurd products and the joy of being. Come one and all, bring your robots and potted plants und let us all sing together.

So they've managed to scrape together funds to produce a high gloss postcard, and are going to fight for their right to be bums - have they really lost?
