Arange community feasts in your surrounding community to spread the message. Nature and culture is beeing destroyed because of clear reasons. Inform the people. Corporate media will do all they can to twist our ideas. Contact your community. People are not willing to destroy. Common people is just misleaded. I feel its important to act to support something, not to resist ( which is of course very important). We can go out to show what kind of life we are demanding. Give out food, art, music and information.
We will grow out from the society. Be creative and take it to the sreets of ours.
2. targets for violent actions. Target something else outside the city. We can target factories, banks, media. Not windows and police. Let demonstrators demonstrate and go for guerillaaction for real.
3. take action against corporate media. Why we should let mediaworkers do their bullshit during the domonstrations. They are there to get the picture of fighting punks and police.

Wow, some real constructive thoughts and messages here- our hope for the future is numbers and the power of all people to resist corporate globalisation and the global elite. In order to achieve such things we've got to think about the factors that get people involved in such a movement or not, and the way people are manipulated and scared into being passive citizens even if many do disagree with the burgeoning power multinationals hold, and other pressing issues of our time which are results of profit before people. Empowering people will cause large healthy resistance to grow, which would signify great hope against the decpetion that millions are subjected to. The truth will shine out of darkness...

Peace has never been won with violence... Yes, you can win the war but at what costs... Be sure, that the swedish people who have to pay millions more of taxes don't agree with your thing anymore. You turn people against you, instead of telling them what you really wish to achieve.
The police who was in hospital came there wihtout helmet or shield... his arm was broken at two places.
You make people even more protective when it comes to material things, since you destroy it and make people lose money, and even might not be able to rebuild their store which earns their living.
Not a successful PR-thing for your sake, thats for sure. I think you need better people to tell you how to act to get more people on your side or things will just get worse, and people in the streets you destroy will clap their hands, when one of you go down for a bullit. I don't think that is what you're after????

That essay is absolutely right. We cannot afford to escalate the violence, three people have almost died, what is it going to take before people realise you can't take on the state at a violence v. violence thing. What have we got? Stones and sticks. What have they got? Stones, guns, dogs, vans, horses, surveillance gear, helicopters and fuck knows what else. The only way we are going to beat corporate facism is with massive numbers and to do that we need to stop this infighting over ideology. Fuck your elitism and unite, we can sort out which part of which system is best afterwards.

Look I know you're all going to say that this is all liberal shit and it isn't going to achieve anything, but look at Serbia. A million-odd people on the street, the army are told to attack them, but instead refuse and join them. That's what we need.

Finally this is a movement with huge potential and I love you all, please don't get yourselves killed. It won't help.

I love you all, please don't die.

Keep on building the revolution

Sounds better, I feel we'll be so much much stronger if we unite and forget all about this sectarian business, or else the elite will just keep laughing at us..our movement has great potential, but we need to be critical and welcoming to all people. I love you all brothers and sisters.

Michael,

Good piece of writing and good overview of the situation!

The momentum is here and now. This is the home stretch and intelligence is finally showing up in the media: Indymedia, the best forum for social transformation in the world.


Isidor

the violence is not coming from the demonstrtors it is from the powerfull forces of the state.
The fact that they are trying to bash you lot, shows that they are taking you seriously.
If you can mobilise more people you can then withstand there
violence.
From the people of Papua Nrew Guinea we wish you well

what do we propose is the question, tactics can come later, anti globalism is not for anything, so what do we want. for myself the world health organisation 1978 Alma-Ata declaration is the good place to start. This defines health as "a state of physical, mental and social wellbeing, and not just the absence of disease or infirmaty.This means that a healthy society woulld have, as rights, high quality housing education, transport, etc. Everything that contributes to bad health would be addressed.As a fucked of wage slave I think that includes working too many hours. As a fucked off mortgage payer I think that the way we pay for our housing would be addressed. As a fucked up head i think we could develop new ways of education. I'm fucked off with having to have an expensive to keep and polluting to run car so lets look at healthier ways of transport.By the way your not getting be back on public transport, thats as regressive as hell, I like my flexible individual car, its a badly organised way of doing it is all. When you apply the health needs of an individual or community to societies problems, you start to get very different perspectives to the question.
One other thing we need to speak globally, we need to address issues from an international perspective. I may be a fucked off wage slave but I'd rather live in the UK than most places in the world. One other thing, while I'm here, the environment is the most pressing problem we have. Witness the rise in extreme weather events, these things are not coincidental.The future is very predictable, fucked up weather brings drought or flood, brings refugees, brings civil wars, brings disease, brings death, for millions, maybe billions.I know theres lots of people out there say this is either natural,or unavoidable now. Well I don't think the Earth's tempreture goes up 6degrees in a century. And if its too late too stop it we had better get together to do something to stop the worst (previously mentioned) effects
