Why not an anti-capitalist/anti-authoritarian bloc so we can tell the trots to get fucked?
it's not enough to be "anti-capitalist."

You got it

That's the idea - bringing together various non-hierarchical groups that were scattered across the last demo.
(The key word is non-hierarchical!)

Couldn't organise a pissup in a brewery

"No War But the Class War's" meeting and following demo on the night the bombing started made me think of the words 'pissup' and 'brewery'.

First the "non-hierarchical" meeting behind the town hall was just a cover for the undemocratic tyranny of the most egotistical, self appointed individuals would just get up and bark orders.

As for democracy, well we could forget about that when those who had a different slogan were threatened and told it wasn't their march. So much for non hierarchical, anti-authoritarian and non sectarian!

Next they completely brainlessly went rushing into the backstreets and alleyways where the police could easily corner and beat up individuals out of sight, and worse, towards New Scotland Yard. So they run from the police - towards the police headquarters!

It all reeked of piss-poor organisation, lack of any experience and a completely flawed method of organisation. I wonder why there has *never* been an "anti-authoritarian" revolution in human history?

Mind your language

Who says we fuck it up?
Why should we behave as if we are an extension of the SWP, if we are not?
We at least have the right to be visibly different.

Yes, whatever

I'll believe it when I see it! Good luck in building your "bloc". I'll be in the inclusive part of the demo with the tens of thousands of others.

Who mentioned the SWP?

Who mentioned the SWP? I never mentioned them. I never said anything about them or having to be like them. But they, the 'moderate' and equally sectarian SWP have to be battled politically.

We must sweep ourselves out with an iron broom! No compromise with bourgeouis reformist fascist liberal anarchist trotskyist conservatives! The entire movement must unite in an inclusive non-sectarian way to drive out all deviationist elements! Only then will we have a truly revolutionary movement (ie. me and my mate Jim.. though having said that I have my doubts about Jim...)
