Bash the Rich!

[Louis MacNeice]

A 'revolutionary pluralist' is someone attempting to occupy the 'liberal moral high ground' (all for difference and inclusion) while simultaneously wanting to talk/look tough. At least that is how Attica is using it.

No, that is not accurate. I believe we have to get together beyond boundaries (connections are always more interesting than separation), and I and the Mayday magazine are trying to open up new perspectives and space for those interested in serious progression.

'One party' views are history, the problems are simply too great for anybody who thinks their group is it or can go it alone. So 'revolutionary pluralist' believes in an open approach, but also one which is not blinkered or clings to redundant conceptions from a time long since past. A many sided approach rather than a one sided one which characterises the vast bulk of the Left/@ movement and i include Ra/iwca in that (but this is basic Marxism Louis). Louis you had better buy our magazine to find out really. FYI RA get a mention in the magazine (that's upped our sales by one)...

But rest assured that I am, in fact, possibly the most interesting person on the planet. Certainly on these boards!

Yeh. You sure are.

 

[GuruYoghourt]

Yeh. You sure are.

I know. Don't you feel privileged?

your self-awareness is only exceeded by your modesty...

Am I right in thinking you're an SPGB propagandist? Do tell me if its true--I need a good laugh.

 

[Dillinger4]

I know. Don't you feel privileged?

Jesus fucking Christ.

I would like to think you are joking.

 

[GuruYoghourt]

Jesus fucking Christ.

I would like to think you are joking.

Then I'd advise you to think that way.

Can't help you there. I left the SPGB over several key theoretical differences, such as the inadequacy of sitting on your fat arse pontificating about why the working-class hadn't grasped socialism yet as a means of changing the world some decade and a half ago. I probably laugh at the SPGB more than you do, but I suspect that it's for very different reasons.

This message is hidden because GuruYoghourt is on your ignore list.

 

[GuruYoghourt]

Very mature.

 

[The Black Hand]

Very mature.

But you haven't said anything interesting and have an attiutude which is far removed from what the social relations of communism actually are.

Crucial to who?

Which is nothing more than your opinion.

 

[GuruYoghourt]

I never used the word 'crucial'.

I didn't read it, but let me guess: You said something that makes you look like a fucking prick?

I can't be anything but right

 

[The Black Hand]

Which is nothing more than your opinion.

No. Your arrogance is certainly not part of the social relations of communism.

yup.

This yoghurt has managed to sour the whole thread.

This threads gone quiet - is anybody going to say how it went?

There's a write-up on the Class War website, Attica.

Ian Bone says on his blog

"This was a toe in the water, the first step in building again a combative anarchist street presence and direct action movement. We now know which comrades are up for it and which aren’t.We now know we can build an alternative to the world of virtual anarchy of the ‘anarchism on my parents computer’ variety. We aim now to keep the momentum going so that we escape the inaction of only annual events and bookfairs. We see the key area as affordable housing and need to see the return of the mass squatting movement of 1946-47 - already starting to happen in the USA. Ocupations of high profile yuppie/rich developments like the Centrepoint one in the 1970’s could spread from London across the country. We’ll also be taking an interest in Boris Johnson’s election campaign and be orgnising events on the Mayoral election day on May 1st……and much more. A group of us are meeting regularly in London and we welcome contacts throughout Britain who want to work with us. Comments welcome.

Putting insuurectionary anarchism back on the streets where it belongs. Class War.

Cheers to everyone who turned up."

The cops were all over us, lots of FIT and plenty of TSG too. Lots of them and not enough of us perhaps.

There's always another time, often things build up. EG. the first RTS was actually quite small in Camden my memory is telling me...

 

[bristol_citizen]

Funny you should mention Camden:

Your right, there were about 30 bods involved in Camden and thousands later on the M41.

 

[punkrockfaggot]

Right, from my perspective this is what happened...

I went to Bash The rich for a few lessons in the history of Class struggle in London, a bit of argy-bargy with the cops and a march.

What I saw were no real signs of knowing what was going to happen, no history lessons, and if the 200-odd people turned up, they turned up after me and my ten-strong squad bolted and had a nice run-around notting hill.

Come five o clock we did a nice No War but the Class war banner drop outside buckingham palace for the tourists, some chants and a scarper.

To be honest I wish I went to the Anarchist bookfair instead...

This is interesting stuff. THe key is to get the many 'groups of 10' there all in one go!! Seriously, it is good to here accoutns from different people/groups... The secret is moving all politics forward...
