I think it's hilarious how Clinton said he condemned those who defaced "small business property" hahaha, what, so Mcdonald's, Wendy's and Nike are suddenly small, fair trade companies?

Nonsense. In Market Capitalism the only thing that can change anything is a loss in capital. Loss of Capital- Broken Window.

@resteep Oh, I see. An unmasked citizen tries to take down one of those cia-anarchist faggots. Good for him. I'd like to shit in their cia-payroll eye sockets.

What's happening at 1:16 when five guys try and 'arrest' another masked 'protester'?

[dantescritic]

@victorbarovsky This is a fair point, certainly it takes much more than a simple broken window to dent the economic system we have today. In any case, economic damage must be delivered to achieve any substantial progress.

Good doc. The music when used, terrible. Music does not have to be dubbed over everything, Sometimes it would be more effective for us to hear the screams, the shouts and roars of protest - music enough.

"What do you think of the Boston Tea Party?"

Who does this guy think he is, Socrates?

[victorbarovsky]

@dantescritic That is not where our strength lies. Workers make capitalism function. Broken windows can easily be replaced, and are a minor nuisance in a world where $1 trillion can disappear off the stock market in a single day. But if the workers refuse to keep the system running, and instead run it in the workers' interest, then there is nothing they can do to stop us. Of course getting to that end point is the hard part.

@gogogogoguck You have no clue what you're talking about. The whole world has turned to shit thanks to capitalism and wars started by "governing bodies" in the name of profit. Anarchists aren't against order, they're against coercion, hierarchy, war, and poverty; all products of capitalism and the state. They want a society where workers earn the full product of their labor and where true democracy is practiced instead of state bureaucracy.

Anarchist are so fucking dumb, you do realise if it where not for capitilism and there wasnt a governing body that this whole world would turn to shit you people are fucking stupid order is what keeps us alive you dumb cunts your taxes pay for the quality of life you have go die you worthless space wasters

police brutalitiy, exsessive and unnessicary force used by police

[thatdamnpunk]

@ehohkay Yes, the cops are a problem, but the big problem is corporate/banking control. They use the pigs to shut us up. These are fascist tactics used by a totalitarian government (the WTO, World Bank, IMF, Monsanto, Nike, Gap, Disney, McDonald's, ect). This is a global problem. All need to act.
