solidarity from europe! come to europe. i think the usa are way too cracked up for a revolution. and the repression is so high. even higher than here. we could use some help here ;)
This strategy is part of the problem. WHY should anarchists announce to everyone who they are at these protests by wearing all black? It's retarded. It's gotten so bad now that the pigs will have their own goons in the crowd wearing black inciting violence. They get to use it as propaganda that anarchists are violent, and then they get an excuse to crack heads. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
The really sad thing is the Ramsey County Attorney's Office is using this video as "evidence" that the RNC8 planned to make Molotov cocktails and disrupt the RNC.
They clearly fail to understand that it is piece of satire and humor.
Audio or not, still sweet. Numbers are growing, people are becoming aware of bullshit going down, and we are getting "Fed" up (Federal Reserve joke, I didn't think it was funny either) with the way we are being ran into the ground.
It's indicative of a conservative philosophy that values industry over humanity.
Not all citizens are property owners. Your language and emphasis betray your ideology "mate". I own no property of concequence, I generate no capital (as I am a university student), and I pay no taxes. Yest, where I live, I own the state. A man who owns a business has one vote just as I do.
Destruction of property is not the same thing as violence.
Thoroughly fun! Dormant activist here, just found the video through despicable recent events here in Austin but thanks for reminding me why I fell in love with anarchism in the first place! Twin Cities can't wait to see you again! My favorite! Fuck Brandon Micheal Darby!
Thanks for a great little giggle! If you guys get bored feel free to come up to Canada, we're full of jerks too but not quite as much of the totalitarian feel just yet. Ninjas welcome
i wish i could have gone to the rnc when i had the chance, i made it to the dnc and i had a ride with some friends there but i had to get back to fuckin work and school, but long story short my friends i would have gone with were arested less then 12 hours after getting there for walking down the street, now there being charged with a felony atempted murder on a cop via a big stone trash can, i guess two guys could have lifted that trash can that was bolted to the ground :/ but fnbSJ needed help
How many people does it take to overcome this well oiled machine? SOmeone please tell me where i should start and when ...Well i guess when is NOW ...So where do we start ? I bet we could start and anarky party campaign up here in Canada , and go from there ,,Where do we get the money?
Wow, this is REALLY well made. I'm very impressed. Funny how footage of those Recreate 68 co-intel agents kicking and screaming was all over your mainstream media, yet this never even got a look at. I don't necessarily agree with you, but if you have to make your point, I think this is the best way you could've possibly made it. Bravo.
I know you're responding to the other guy, but it's funny that you mention kent state..I actually attended kent state for three years, and I was on the May 4th task force. My best friend was the co-chair for two years. I was there the year of the anti-war committee's protest against the invasion of iraq 2003. It actually looked like a smaller version of the RNC protest. Riot Gear, abuse of power by police, black helicopters, police video taping us.. meat wagons...
Anarchism means lack of hierarchy and government, not lack of organization. Black is worn to promote solidarity, and make the bloc appear as one. The media creates the bad image by lying about what we stand for, and denouncing our tactics. The law isn't always right, and some terrorists wear suits and are chosen by a supposed "democratic" process. You and I know them as politicians. Bush isn't the problem, it's government, ALL government.
The only people we hurt are those we intend to hurt; the capitalists and the state. Inaction has much more violent consequences than rioting in the long run.
What about the man-on-the-street capitalist? The one who ends up clubbed to death by your mob, or having his tires slashed, or his shop set alight? The city doesn't belong to you, it belongs to everyone, and while you can burn and destroy your small part of it, you have no claim on anybody else's. To suggest otherwise is worse than capitalist, it is fascist.
Have YOU burned down any good cities lately? Or has it been mostly talking on your part?
We don't harm small businesses, just corporations and the state. We also aren't trying to harm anyone physically, except in self-defence. When I say "city on fire", I'm obviously just exaggerating.
The city belongs to the workers, they built the whole thing, it's rightfully theirs, it's been stolen.
I hope the tyres of every capitalist are slashed, the stores on the other hand, will be occupied and reclaimed by the workers, no burning necessary, that would be wasteful!
As anarchists, we seek to undo the capitalist relationship of private property, everything for all!
Brilliant, I want to thank all the people who hit the streets in St Paul to let warmaker know his days of existence without resistence are through, a special thanks to the women and men warriors labeled as anarchists who put themselves on the front lines between the fascist pigs and the people fighting to maintain a FREE and PEACEFUL America and to throw the fascists the hell out of our country.
I may not agree with you politically (voluntaryist) but this video was hilarious and bless you all for being there and speaking your mind! It's the American Way!
Search google for "Anarchist FAQ". All these questions are answered in abundance.
Also it looks like rechelon is quoting from "Dealing with Crime in a Free Society" which is an article on Attack the System and a pamphlet on Invisible Molotov. Both answer in excruciating detail all of your questions/concerns.
Victims of crime are often treated rudely and with indifference by law enforcement personnel. Courts often treat victims as though they are doing them a favor by prosecuting those who have harmed them. Efforts by victims to collect compensation from those who have wronged them are often unsuccessful. Indeed, victims are regarded by the "criminal justice" system as mere witnesses to the crime with the state being the actual victim.

One last comment before I have to leave for work:
Sooo, most of your problems revolve around hatred / misunderstanding of the police.
Also, how did breaking windows, throwing bags of poo, and acting like animals in St Paul help further your cause? From what I've seen in the local media (including commentary from the reporters/ anchors), the cops are heroes and the anarchists are a bunch of losers here to wreck our fine little city.
No one threw feces. I don't know why the Sheriff's department has this Scat Fetish, but they could make up better lies.
A couple Macy's windows were broken, once from a dude with a hammer (?) and one from where the cops cornered and pressed peaceful demonstrators up against it, attacking them.
But whatever. Blocking intersections is probably the oldest and most respected forms of civil disobedience there is. So what if black bloc folks fought back a little bit after being attacked with concussion grenades and rubber bullets? The Anarchists never escalated.
@UnconventionalAction Yea i helped with that moveing the dumpsters and the news boxes every one had there own barricade every one stoped traffic for about 2 hours we did well 2012 rnc will be the same i hope
That's if you believe everything you see on the local news, it's not that hard for the police to provoke a riot and then blame it ALL on the "anarcists"
The exact opposite is true. The prostitutes' rights activist Priscilla Alexander notes that, in some metropolitan areas, prostitution enforcement is the single largest item in the police budget. Many police departments devote a full fifty percent of their resources to drug enforcement. Simultaneously, large numbers of homocides go uninvestigated in some major cities. Many police departments do not even gather fingerprints at the scene of ordinary burglaries, if they show up at all when summoned.
It would be expected that the bulk of statist police resources would be allocated for the prevention of murder, rape and other crimes of severe violence against persons as the first order of business. Protection of the property of citizens against thieves and burglars would be second. Petty theft and minor assaults would be next with victimless activities such as drug use and prostitution receiving the least amount of attention or perhaps no attention at all.
"The alternative to state-run crime control services operating as a politicized, compulsory monopoly would be decentralized crime control systems organized, operated and funded by communities, individuals, families, voluntary associations and private organizations. Conceptually, this is nothing particularly new or unique. Such systems were the norm in many societies throughout most of history."

6. Public opinion (What do I care what you think, I'm an anarchist)
7. Voluntary courts (If I just murdered someone, I choose not to take part in your voluntary court, and you can't make me!)
8. Voluntary rehab and restitution ( If I'm your town drunk and there's nobody to rein me in, whoo hoo! Party on!! And, I'm not paying you for your TV I just stole)
Any, you did not answer my question. You have an anarchist society. I don't want to cooperate, and decide I like your TV better than mine. What's to stop me, or some foreign invader from doing harm to your little villiage? Who is going to make the call to arms and lead your little army or group of police (if you have any.)
Mad respect to the protesters, and especially the welcoming committee! St. Paul police were way out of line, and it's so nice to see one get blind sided! McCain is Bush 2 and, without a question, up to no good. The Welcoming Committee is trying to wake up America! As a result of 911 being an inside job, our jerk off president is stealing away our liberties as part of the New World Order agenda. Stay alert, and fight the power.
I don't care what damn idealogy you have. I study media and i have to say this video is very well made. Also the people who made this does have some pretty good humour. That's a 5 star.
Let's try not to look like stereotypically idiotic Youtube commenters.
1. They wear masks to filter out the pepper spray and teargas.
2. They DO work on productive projects. Anarchist activists and EMTs were the first to provide aid in New Orleans after Katrina. Look up Common Grounds and FNB.
3. They're not Democrats or Communists. They're a against both.
4. They planned on blocking streets to impede politicians. So what?
5. Anarchism is a political and ethical theory. Look it up.
Reading all these comments proves that the '2 party' system is doing it's job. Keeping all of you sheep divided, weak, and squabbling over stupid shit. Good job my fellow American citizens, they've won again.
as for the video, it was worth a good laugh, thank you. :D
"Anarchy" does not actually mean "chaotic violence". The word comes from the Greek and means "without domination."
Thus an Anarchy is a world without anyone trying to impose their way on someone else.
But SOME anarchists believe in the right to self-defense. And since few people try to impose their will on others more than politicians & cops (taxes, laws against smoking, etc), they see some degree of proactive resistance to be appropriate. Like smashing the windows of war-supporting banks.
Whatever all these people say, on the "left" or the "right", it's still a freaking hilarious video! I loved every second of it. Well done! Bet it got somebody shaking in their boots.
Wouldn't the phrase "anarchist group" contradict itself? Well... atleast you are doing something. I hope it's not causing destruction, and putting innocent people in harms way... for you would be a small "group" in the same vain as the government. Hopefully one day we as Americans will wake up and see the truth, until then please try to educate oneself in truth. Do not just listen to the propaganda that has been around circulated to you by the powers that be. Good luck, I'll be watchin.God bless
So authorities have admitted at least 3 of the principal players in the so-called "RNC Welcoming Committee" were undercover infiltrators. It would have been far more disruptive to execute an organized and protracted protest presence at the RNC, replete with independent press and what not.
The RNC Welcoming Committee provided the authorities a pretext to crack down violently on independent press and protests, and have further provided conservatives a ready charicature of the peace movement.
Wearing masks only helps agent provacateurs infiltrate peaceful protests. Throwing the molotov cocktail in your video was really stupid and you were just asking for serious trouble. The ONLY way you are ever going to change the things you are protesting is with non violent civil disobiedience. Gandhi showed us the way to win. I suggest to any activist reading this: Know who you are with. Bring video cameras. Seperate yourselves from masked people because they are most likely agent provacateurs.
sywars1... the very fact that you mention "representatives" shows that you have no idea about the ideals of such anti-authoritarian groups like this... Can we really trust the system that is broken to fix itself? We do not live in a participatory democracy and to assume that a representative would be sympathetic to such ideals is naive.
The Welcoming Committee are my heros! Great American Heroes standing up for the rights of Americans when everyone else is too fucking lazy or preoccupied with making money to by their gucci bags!
Anarchists are the smartest group of people I've ever met. Hell they outwitted the FBI, CIA, Minnesota State Police, and St. Paul police force. All Power to the People!
"...providing them an excuse to suspend basic [...] rights"? You've got to be kidding! This is a hilarious video, but if you're suggesting that is is incumbent upon citizens to not challenge the state in order for them to respect our rights, that's ridiculous! You don't need rights if you're never going to challenge the state. There's simply no use for them.
"Anarchy" does not actually mean "chaotic violence". The word comes from the Greek and means "without domination."

"Anarchy is a world without anyone trying to impose their way on someone else." So, answer this..we live in your fantasy world. Without laws, police, courts, etc, what's to stop me from breaking into your house, beating you, and stealing your TV? There are no consequences, so why not?
Remember this: Thought the history of mankind, the stong have ALWAYS preyed on the weak. There will always be criminals and those who just don't want to go with your program. Without a rule of law (police / courts), a means for everyone to have their voices heard (aka elected representatives), and some authority to make binding decisions for the good of the public (aka the goverment), your world comes down to "rule by whoever has the most guns." Scary!
Well, you're correct that Representative Democracy is just another form of the strong preying on the weak. Electing representatives simply places those most skilled in lying at the top of the food chain, rather than those most skilled at fighting.
And NO, there have been PLENTY of societies, projects, cultures, situations, etc where the strong didn't prey on the weak. Anarchy has worked before, it works today (linux, zapatistas).

Then you vote out those elected officials who abuse their power or do not serve the common good and try again.
PLENTY of societies where anarchy has worked? Funny that you only give two examples;one is an operating system, and the other are small dirt poor communities in a third world country. In a modern, industrialized world, good luck trying to get everyone to act as one cooperative entity where nobody is placing their needs / wants above those of the group.
We've "tried again" for over two centuries. When are folks going to realize that those who gravitate towards power are inherently bad people? As long as you have positions of power those in them will be corrupt.

So,lets all agree that nobody is in charge, and we'll all perform our duties for the betterment of the community. Well, I don't want to collect garbage anymore, and I don't want to be in your army. I'd rather sit at home and watch Oprah (on your stolen TV) and live off the rest of you. What are you gonna do about that? Kick me out of town? Jail me? Cut off my supplies? (remember, I'm armed) B/S! You have no influence over me! This is anarchy, remember! We all cooperate, or we all perish.
If you choose to live like an absolute individualist or egoist then the Free Market comes into effect. (devoid of the artificial scale-increasing effects of government) You still have to trade with folks because everyone else is armed too.
And there's plenty of economic theory showing how non-coerced order emerges from free societies. Hence the old adage: Anarchy is Order, Government is Chaos.

2. Community patrols (With authority to do / enforce what? "Law, without force, is impotent"-Blaise Pascal)
3. Insurance agancies (Voluntary involvment sure, but would'nt those providing the insurance have some control over the insured by means of higher rates or other regulations?)
4. Private investigators. (Again, with authority to do what with their findings?)

b) I'm not the one who provided the excuse for gestapo tactics
Breaking shit and throwing Malotov cocktails? The state speaks the language of violence far more eloquently- it is, after all, it's native tongue. The ability to speak truth to power is all the people have. Were their anarchists involved, the state could have killed MLK Jr. much sooner, before he completed any part of his work. And fuck your stupid ass name you jacked from the Rawkus Records era.
A) There were no cocktails and there haven't been.
B) Speaking truth to power means absolutely nothing.
Speaking truth to people in power, is like telling a serial killer, killing is wrong. They understand it perfectly well already. Yes the state knows violence, but attacking private property is hardly violent. The disrupting of these spectacles is one of the greatest achievements of recent US history, and your condemnations, to me, show that you are far more aligned with the status quo.
Furthermore, every time the state displays its brutality, and every time we can manage visible resistance far more people are attracted to organizing and participation. If you may remember, directly after Seattle thousands of people wanted to get involved. So if you suggest that we endlessly have that same boring, tired discussion about "the right time for revolt," then I think you are missing out on something special. Lastly, I must admit I like the fact that you knew about my stupid name!!!
Haha, this video is fucking awesome. Immediately after watching this, I saw the news report channel 5 did on it, and they say this is an "anarchist training video!" Fucking morons! The news remains so safe that it's completely biased and moronic. I saw some stuff on the news today showing some crazy fucks smashing shit and dragging dumpsters into the street. Seems like fun. GET EM, BOYS!
as I was saying...Cover your faces...and destroy what you see fit to accomplish your "goals"...regardless of who owns whatever property you seem fit to destroy.
--Here's my hint.... You are not important... You never will be.... The world DOES not revolve around you... It will still be spinning long after you check out... and most of you could use a bath...(and a job)
Your response does not make sense to what I have typed...but I guess I only contribute most of my tax dollar to support schools...not all of it...
But to respond to what you said... A search warrant superseeds any right to privacy you may think you have. The other fun part about a search warrant is that ITEMS that can be fashioned into weapons can be seized and held until it can be shown they will not be used to harm others. Now Im sure you all are upset that your buckets of pee are gone...
It's like a tools in your garage? Glass jars? If you can claim to have nothing in your own home that could ever be used as a weapon I'd be shocked. I have a freakin' steak knife that's "an edged weapon" according to the police. This is not a high enough standard to hold warrants to.
I don't want to come across as a person who is inciting riots at all as I am against them in most cases. But the American people are truly out of touch with whats actually on on here. Neo-Conservatives are destroying America and it disturbs me greatly that most people are not paying any attention no this fact. The wide scale corruption in our government is unbelievable. There is NO accountability what so ever. Most people just watch crap like FOX NEWS and blindly believe.
Good for you. Stand up for our rights!!! You should protest Fox News. They have a much larger audience. If you protested in front of their main office and called MSNBC to report you would get a lot more people on your side you could get your message out to more people by using the news for YOUR agenda. FOX NEWS IS PROPAGANDA at it's best. Brainwashing MILLIONS of Americans. Stop them and save this country. Don't listen to all these people who saw your coverage on Fox News. Fuck Fox NEws!
Funkfo, Capitalism is no better for it advocates the stripping of human rights in exchange for profit motive. Look at China were Corporations have the ability to pay workers little to nothing and to surpress the worker's right to unionize. I have a purpose in life and have a goal to help others who are in need. Socialism can help those who are repressed such as the factories workers who've been unfairly laid off and the farmers who's farms are being bought up by corporate farms.
We are not resisting against "Americans," whatever that is supposed to mean; furthermore, we are a part of what you may call "American." But I really pity you. You believe everything "authorities" tell you. But, as I said, mr. flagwaver, we are everywhere and we will continue our actions.
You will never change the system. Not in your lifetime.
By then your people will have if anything, exposed theirselves to the powers in place and the people who hate you for what you are. Then surely death and discomfort will finish your type off once and for all time.
Well there have been considerable changes, and once you stop looking at a revolution as some cataclysmic event then there is great potential. And my "type" is so broad that it really doesn't mean anything. What is my "type"? An abused housewife who leaves her violent husband is my "type," as is a fed up employee who slashes his bosses tires, as is a teenager who grabs a can of spray paint to write what is on her/his mind.
Socialist Revolution comrades!! Its time to bring down the corrupt and inefficient government which sympathizes with Corporate interest. The working class suffers because the greed of corporations take away there jobs and give them to those who have no rights. Also, the Social Contract states that if the government becomes inefficient, then the people have a right to overthrow it either by the gun or ballot. The people should not be scared of the government but rather the other way around.
linknlog, Anarchism is a rather sketchy ideal because the near obsence of Government. We signed a Social Contract to give up some of our rights in order to establish a society. Also, what type of Anarchy do you support? Capitalist, Socialist, etc? Then explain explain to me how it works. I know the definition has changed but once again, I think Anarchism may not be the best political/Economic system.
I subscribe to the collectivist anarchism system as laid out by Mikhail Bakunin. Basically it is the same system the Spanish anarchists used in the 1930s before Franco's fascists took power.
linknlog, I'm more of a believer in the Socialist ideals of individuals such as Fidel(Earlier Years), Che Guevara and groups such as The Sandinista(The Real Youth Revolution). I checked out Mikhail Bakunin and I find it to be a Utopian ideal which obvious never work. Also, who would be considered legitimate leaders in these so called "People's council". Would there still be a police force to enforce laws? Example, a murder, robbery, etc. You take away the Social Contract which leads to violence
Does no one in this country recongnize political SATIRE any more? I think their video was a hoot. If they played it on Saturday Night live it would have become a classic, but because the growing police state under the Bush watch wants any excuse to abuse people excercising their constitutional right to protest, they've villifed these kids. Look at what the Minneapolis sherrifs dept. did yesterday, raiding homes, holding people at gunpoint, detaining but not charging...have we become Russia now?
Question: Is this just some random kids having fun making fun of this whole situation? Or is this really supposed the group that the police are currently raiding?
Anarchists? Really?! These people don't even look like they'd throw urine on anyone, much less be some kind of threat...
I wonder how long they would last in Iran, Iraq & Afghanistan probably as long as this post & not as long as my last post. Can't tolerate real diversity?
I'm really sorry to hear the pigs raided so early. This was one of the best trailers I have seen and I was, and am, really excited for the festivities. I hope you are all well, and safe. And just remember there are more of us then they think.
If they managed to Get THAT "local support" they talk about and saturate the streets with enough pot smokeing (Urban Outdoorsman), AND start a riot for 3 of the 5 days Mccian is there then I would have more respect for them, IF NOT then the Trust Fund babys, the Urban Outdoors Youth (Homeless Types) and the FAD extreme liberals in the RNCWC need to give up there bullshit and take the Republicans stealing a THIRD election, then I say it's the RNCWC's fault for not trying hard enough.
LOL that raid on your little party was funny. It just goes to prove that your wrong. If we were run by nazis as you claim this stupid video wouldn;t even be here. So just keep proving yourselves wrong and looking like complete idiots so we can all sit back and laugh at you. Don't any of you losers have jobs to go to instead of threating citizens? By looking at this pre school video i dought it. Keep up the funny videos and you may win the Americas funniest video award losers. hahahhaha
It's a no-brainer that the police would raid the RNC Welcoming Committee headquarters after they have publicly announced that they will block traffic. When you announce your intention to do something illegal it would be naive to believe that there will be no preemptive action by the police. Good luck anyway, and I hope you won't be completely thwarted from demonstrating at the RNC convention.
I'm sorry you guys got raided. LOVE the video, and I support you 100%. I'd be inclined to join in on the festivities if I thought it would make any difference. Unfortunately, I'm of the mindset that these protests and actions are basically pointless. The machine is too well oiled to be broken. Guess I'm just a pessimist. Hope you all come out of it safe. Oh, and some of you need to up your trolling game. I doubt the 'skinny vegan' remarks are denting their armor. F'n sheep.
Way to go SPPD, RCSO, and FBI for raiding the anarchist HQ in St Paul. Several arrests made, lots of anarchist equiptment siezed, and lots of others identified. (More arrests to follow I'm sure!)
No, anarchist like tire spikes, wrist rockets, and booklets on how to make molotov cocktails. They clearly describe themselves as anarchists in their website. Do you suspect they are dishonest on that?

Anarchists are what define Fascism in the strictest sense, and you infant terrors are the offspring. You are nothing more than thugs and puerile idiots who can't see that you are the same as Nazi Brown Shirts, because you are too infantile to read the history of movements such as yours. You simply imbibe the lies fed you by the worthless scum of your puppeteers, and feel righteous in giving vent to the filth of your unjust rage. Little oppressors with violent minds.
eh. wrong.fascists are pro big gov't (omg, seems like the republican and democratic platform today!! what a coincidence!!).don't tell me to read history guy, haha. the gop has sold out to fascism. we live in a corporate society, that is borderline fascism. thanks to the establishment.
anarchists are those who want no government period and pure freedom.
but im not anarchist and dont consider myself one. so, you've really made no point (though you weren't making a point anyways, just bitching).
The New World Order stretches beyond party lines. If you think big business doesn't already have their hands in the Obama campaign, you haven't taken the time to research.
Both parties suck. Democrats voted yes to approve the war, and the Republicans pulled the trigger. Now Democrats are rolling over on FISA; what is the difference when neither care about our civil liberties?
They wear black so as not to be identified and arrested. Have you ever heard of a black bloc? If everyone is wearing the same thing how is a prosecutor going to be able to put someone in prison without knowing for sure if that person commited the "crime" or not. There are other bloc actions as well, ive seen one where everyone involved was wearing a doctors uniform.
Minneapolis has a long history of class action and at one time was very proud of it. Take a look at the 1934 Minneapolis Teamsters' Strike. A government that does not fear it's people is not work having.
I'm not agianst your cause but it will do nothing. You are portrayed by the general news networks to your country and around the world in a bad way. You have a brawl with the police, it&#
I wonder if this person thinks that the democrats are any better?

It's indicative of a conservative philosophy that values industry over humanity.
Not all citizens are property owners. Your language and emphasis betray your ideology "mate". I own no property of concequence, I generate no capital (as I am a university student), and I pay no taxes. Yest, where I live, I own the state. A man who owns a business has one vote just as I do.
Destruction of property is not the same thing as violence.

It actually looked like a smaller version of the RNC protest. Riot Gear, abuse of power by police, black helicopters, police video taping us.. meat wagons...

Anarchism means lack of hierarchy and government, not lack of organization. Black is worn to promote solidarity, and make the bloc appear as one. The media creates the bad image by lying about what we stand for, and denouncing our tactics. The law isn't always right, and some terrorists wear suits and are chosen by a supposed "democratic" process. You and I know them as politicians. Bush isn't the problem, it's government, ALL government.

What about the man-on-the-street capitalist? The one who ends up clubbed to death by your mob, or having his tires slashed, or his shop set alight? The city doesn't belong to you, it belongs to everyone, and while you can burn and destroy your small part of it, you have no claim on anybody else's. To suggest otherwise is worse than capitalist, it is fascist.
Have YOU burned down any good cities lately? Or has it been mostly talking on your part?

The city belongs to the workers, they built the whole thing, it's rightfully theirs, it's been stolen.
I hope the tyres of every capitalist are slashed, the stores on the other hand, will be occupied and reclaimed by the workers, no burning necessary, that would be wasteful!
As anarchists, we seek to undo the capitalist relationship of private property, everything for all!

Search google for "Anarchist FAQ". All these questions are answered in abundance.
Also it looks like rechelon is quoting from "Dealing with Crime in a Free Society" which is an article on Attack the System and a pamphlet on Invisible Molotov. Both answer in excruciating detail all of your questions/concerns.
UnconventionalAction 3 years ago 2
Victims of crime are often treated rudely and with indifference by law enforcement personnel. Courts often treat victims as though they are doing them a favor by prosecuting those who have harmed them. Efforts by victims to collect compensation from those who have wronged them are often unsuccessful. Indeed, victims are regarded by the "criminal justice" system as mere witnesses to the crime with the state being the actual victim.

Sooo, most of your problems revolve around hatred / misunderstanding of the police.
Also, how did breaking windows, throwing bags of poo, and acting like animals in St Paul help further your cause? From what I've seen in the local media (including commentary from the reporters/ anchors), the cops are heroes and the anarchists are a bunch of losers here to wreck our fine little city.
Thanks for the discussion!!

The exact opposite is true. The prostitutes' rights activist Priscilla Alexander notes that, in some metropolitan areas, prostitution enforcement is the single largest item in the police budget. Many police departments devote a full fifty percent of their resources to drug enforcement. Simultaneously, large numbers of homocides go uninvestigated in some major cities. Many police departments do not even gather fingerprints at the scene of ordinary burglaries, if they show up at all when summoned.
rechelon 3 years ago 5
It would be expected that the bulk of statist police resources would be allocated for the prevention of murder, rape and other crimes of severe violence against persons as the first order of business. Protection of the property of citizens against thieves and burglars would be second. Petty theft and minor assaults would be next with victimless activities such as drug use and prostitution receiving the least amount of attention or perhaps no attention at all.

"The alternative to state-run crime control services operating as a politicized, compulsory monopoly would be decentralized crime control systems organized, operated and funded by communities, individuals, families, voluntary associations and private organizations.

"Anarchy" does not actually mean "chaotic violence". The word comes from the Greek and means "without domination."
Thus an Anarchy is a world without anyone trying to impose their way on someone else.
But SOME anarchists believe in the right to self-defense. And since few people try to impose their will on others more than politicians & cops (taxes, laws against smoking, etc), they see some degree of proactive resistance to be appropriate. Like smashing the windows of war-supporting banks.

So authorities have admitted at least 3 of the principal players in the so-called "RNC Welcoming Committee" were undercover infiltrators. It would have been far more disruptive to execute an organized and protracted protest presence at the RNC, replete with independent press and what not.
The RNC Welcoming Committee provided the authorities a pretext to crack down violently on independent press and protests, and have further provided conservatives a ready charicature of the peace movement.

Wearing masks only helps agent provacateurs infiltrate peaceful protests. Throwing the molotov cocktail in your video was really stupid and you were just asking for serious trouble. The ONLY way you are ever going to change the things you are protesting is with non violent civil disobiedience. Gandhi showed us the way to win. I suggest to any activist reading this: Know who you are with. Bring video cameras. Seperate yourselves from masked people because they are most likely agent provacateurs.

Remember this: Thought the history of mankind, the stong have ALWAYS preyed on the weak. There will always be criminals and those who just don't want to go with your program. Without a rule of law (police / courts), a means for everyone to have their voices heard (aka elected representatives), and some authority to make binding decisions for the good of the public (aka the goverment), your world comes down to "rule by whoever has the most guns." Scary!

Well, you're correct that Representative Democracy is just another form of the strong preying on the weak. Electing representatives simply places those most skilled in lying at the top of the food chain, rather than those most skilled at fighting.

Breaking shit and throwing Malotov cocktails? The state speaks the language of violence far more eloquently- it is, after all, it's native tongue. The ability to speak truth to power is all the people have. Were their anarchists involved, the state could have killed MLK Jr. much sooner, before he completed any part of his work. And fuck your stupid ass name you jacked from the Rawkus Records era.

The disrupting of these spectacles is one of the greatest achievements of recent US history, and your condemnations, to me, show that you are far more aligned with the status quo.

Furthermore, every time the state displays its brutality, and every time we can manage visible resistance far more people are attracted to organizing and participation.

Anarchists? Really?! These people don't even look like they'd throw urine on anyone, much less be some kind of threat...

I wonder how long they would last in Iran, Iraq & Afghanistan probably as long as this post & not as long as my last post. Can't tolerate real diversity?

You make a good point; after spending 5-7 years in Iraq and Afghanistan we haven't accomplished anything.

@unconventional
I'm really sorry to hear the pigs raided so early. This was one of the best trailers I have seen and I was, and am, really excited for the festivities. I hope you are all well, and safe. And just remember there are more of us then they think.

I can't give local support but I'm willing to help you refill your 5 gal. buckets of urine the police took in the fascist raids.
I'll start drinking beer now! Peace out.
To be more serious, why are you so strongly against freedom of speech and the right to assembly?

The Republican delegates are not regular citizens, they're rulers: actively complicit in the coercion and violence of state power.
Do Kings have an unassailable right to plan our subjugation unimpeded?

If they managed to Get THAT "local support" they talk about and saturate the streets with enough pot smokeing (Urban Outdoorsman), AND start a riot for 3 of the 5 days Mccian is there then I would have more respect for them, IF NOT then the Trust Fund babys, the Urban Outdoors Youth (Homeless Types) and the FAD extreme liberals in the RNCWC need to give up there bullshit and take the Republicans stealing a THIRD election, then I say it's the RNCWC's fault for not trying hard enough.

LOL that raid on your little party was funny. It just goes to prove that your wrong. If we were run by nazis as you claim this stupid video wouldn;t even be here. So just keep proving yourselves wrong and looking like complete idiots so we can all sit back and laugh at you. Don't any of you losers have jobs to go to instead of threating citizens? By looking at this pre school video i dought it. Keep up the funny videos and you may win the Americas funniest video award losers. hahahhaha

It's a no-brainer that the police would raid the RNC Welcoming Committee headquarters after they have publicly announced that they will block traffic. When you announce your intention to do something illegal it would be naive to believe that there will be no preemptive action by the police. Good luck anyway, and I hope you won't be completely thwarted from demonstrating at the RNC convention.

I'm sorry you guys got raided. LOVE the video, and I support you 100%. I'd be inclined to join in on the festivities if I thought it would make any difference. Unfortunately, I'm of the mindset that these protests and actions are basically pointless. The machine is too well oiled to be broken. Guess I'm just a pessimist. Hope you all come out of it safe. Oh, and some of you need to up your trolling game. I doubt the 'skinny vegan' remarks are denting their armor. F'n sheep.

Way to go SPPD, RCSO, and FBI for raiding the anarchist HQ in St Paul. Several arrests made, lots of anarchist equiptment siezed, and lots of others identified. (More arrests to follow I'm sure!)

No, anarchist like tire spikes, wrist rockets, and booklets on how to make molotov cocktails. They clearly describe themselves as anarchists in their website. Do you suspect they are dishonest on that?

Anarchists are what define Fascism in the strictest sense, and you infant terrors are the offspring. You are nothing more than thugs and puerile idiots who can't see that you are the same as Nazi Brown Shirts, because you are too infantile to read the history of movements such as yours. You simply imbibe the lies fed you by the worthless scum of your puppeteers, and feel righteous in giving vent to the filth of your unjust rage. Little oppressors with violent minds.

eh. wrong.fascists are pro big gov't (omg, seems like the republican and democratic platform today!! what a coincidence!!).don't tell me to read history guy, haha. the gop has sold out to fascism. we live in a corporate society, that is borderline fascism. thanks to the establishment.
anarchists are those who want no government period and pure freedom.
but im not anarchist and dont consider myself one. so, you've really made no point (though you weren't making a point anyways, just bitching).

Both parties suck. Democrats voted yes to approve the war, and the Republicans pulled the trigger. Now Democrats are rolling over on FISA; what is the difference when neither care about our civil liberties?

They wear black so as not to be identified and arrested. Have you ever heard of a black bloc? If everyone is wearing the same thing how is a prosecutor going to be able to put someone in prison without knowing for sure if that person commited the "crime" or not. There are other bloc actions as well, ive seen one where everyone involved was wearing a doctors uniform.

Absolutely wonderful, just smashing.
Minneapolis has a long history of class action and at one time was very proud of it. Take a look at the 1934 Minneapolis Teamsters' Strike. A government that does not fear it's people is not work having.
