@dwc1964 That's exactly how we feel, we have to rise up and fire our bosses, we have economically cripple the people we're fighting against and start to make the state irrelevant, growing our own food, eventually organizing worker takeovers of factories and power stations. But we can't do that if we're made to look like violent terrorists who just want a riot.

Then the message isn't getting out about the injustices we're fighting or what we can do about it, all people see is violence.

Agree, wish he would have knocked the daylights out of one of those black bloc anarchists.

Also I don't mean to throw race into this, but notice how all of these black bloc anarchist (in fact all anarchist are like this) are just white middle or upper middle class people.

@36ronjon I engage in Black Bloc and I'm not a cop or a crook. I'm a pissed off citizen wearing black to show people that if their non-violence fails and they get a boot to the face, or worse, I'll defend them. I'm not going to go start shit, but if shit happens, I'm willing to put myself between the peacenick liberals and "the law".

@SwiftNightRunner Funny, I'm an anarchist, and I'm none of those things. Anarchy to me is when there is no difference between the government and it's people. You call this disorder, I call it Democracy. Not representative democracy, but true and total democracy. When we can come together to make our decisions,no matter who you are, and stand as one, without the corporate and bureaucratic filtering of the State. Property damage is property damage, nobody gets hurt but not my tea

The day you stop pretending glass has rights worth fighting for, while the poor, the sick, hungry and poor quietly die in the corner, will be the day where you'll stop being so fucking narrow-minded. Black Bloc is a tactic - if you want to decry black bloc, decry the tactic, not the people, and not occupy. If people think occupy is black bloc, then spend some time educating people the truth. Black bloc activists are not protesters, and few of them are violent.

@SwiftNightRunner "a theory that regards the absence of all direct or coercive government as a political ideal and that proposes the cooperative and voluntary association of individuals and groups as the principal mode of organized society." There's anarchy, which is chaos, then there's anarchy, which is a system. Do some research into anarchy instead of just thinking you know everything from a single video.

Proof?

@zeroXXman

an·ar·chy, noun. A state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority.

Most of the scum bags that want anarchy, only want it so they may rape, pillage, and kill with no consequence. Did you not watch the video, bro?
