Taxamo Welf
kebagels pls
Yes, what a success eh? At least one protestor run over by a police van, lots of people put off coming to demonstrations at all, subsequent demo's so heavily policed and supervised that virtually all actions were shut down, the "taking the piss but having a laugh" ethic which had previously worked so effectively lost for good.
this utterly baffles me.
- demo's about what, for what?lots of people put off coming to demonstrations at all, subsequent demo's
worked so effectively in achieving what?which had previously worked so effectively lost for good.
I don't understand at all. You can continue protesting all you like, but if at the heart of your 'protest' (and was RTS a protest?) is something so totally opposed to capitalism and the status quo, you will either end up in conflict or you will have failed.
I'm not pretending RTS and J18 are incredible anti-capitalist achievements, i just don't get what the fuck else they were meant to be if they weren't attempts at such.
My apologies to anyone who went on an RTS thinking it was all just for a laugh, you were heartlessly duped by anarchists.
