The Pinks and Silvers Best Tacticians - Genoa

Melody Ayre | 25.07.2001 07:22

If we are going to talk successful tactics then why not analyse the various tactics used last Saturday to see which one group was the most successful at achieving the desired target.



The results were posted at the height of the march. see :
tactical maps of the marches - italy.indymedia.org

The Pinks and Silvers had by far the best tactics, and the best results. They reached the fence first by dancing, giving off heavenly vibrations, swirling, twirling, wafting out incense, laughing, singing, chanting, blowing bubbles, but, I was so sorry that nobody picked up on Subcommander Marcos's idea, to throw 'piles of little leaflet darts over the fence, outlining our objections to the G8, with a bold statement like " 'opulent idlers' hiding inside a steel cage" - as our friends in the African press reminded them today in, "African Press Accuse G8 of Humbug and Global Apartheid." [BBC African Monitor July 24 2001]

So really there is no contest. Pinks and Silvers tactics are the most successful at demonstrations and if we want to "Raise the Tempo" as * Monbiot* would say, well surely that can also be arranged? see: Monbiot; " Raising the Temperature." [Guardian July 24 2001]
