The same way you eat an elephant; bit by bit, and preferably with a lot of help.

And condiments.

I was only talking about the attack on the Barnardos shop, and using the example of the suffragettes damaging public buildings (govt offices, shops and post boxes)

I don't think that there is any justification to damage private individuals homes or property.

I think there can sometimes be some small justification for attacking the property (but not the homes of private individuals. For example, I think that the targeting of highly expensive vehicles for arson in Berlin was a partially-effective brake on property developers parking up in the working-class areas they aimed to gentrify.

I could tell you that, but then the state would know how I'm attacking them.

wanted Big Moaner to answer!

The suffragettes didn't have the vote, obviously, so they should be given more latitude when it comes to 'illegal' activity. Similarly for apartheid South Africa.

There is a difference.

Women did not have the vote. But in UK there was allowed peaceful protest and lobbying of government. Some women who campaigned for vote disagreed with the Suffragettes use of violent ( against property) methods. And btw they were damaging private property not government property in the link I give as example.

Its much easier to give people latitude in hindsight.

Apartheid was a violent suppression of sections ( the majority) of the population of SA. Any peaceful opposition was dealt with severely. The violence of the Apartheid state led to violent opposition in the end as the only possible way to get rid of Apartheid. Its an example of attacking the whole state. Apartheid was the basis of how the State worked. To oppose it was opposing the basis of the State.

Unlike Suffragettes who wanted a reform of the State to allow women same right as (some) men to vote. They were not trying to overturn the whole state.

[SpamMisery]

[BigMoaner]

I would propose blowing up the internet by downloading too much stuff at once or some such technical shit.
