On Monday 11th February, thousands of groups and individuals took part in autonomous pro-capitalist actions in shops all over the UK (and abroad in co-incidental solidarity actions). These pro-capitalist activists took direct action to funnel funds into the hands of the global elite in order to perpetuate the continued exploitation of people, animals and the planet. Cash tills were ringing to the sound of healthy profits and economic growth throughout the day despite the best efforts of the a few anarchists in Slough who had super glued up the locks on their local butchers the night before.

The actions were mostly organised in an organic non-hierarchical fashion, perhaps adopted from anarchist traditions, although some were the work of ‘affinity’ groups known as ‘families’ which often operate under a strict if somewhat murky hierarchy known as patriarchy. They go under the loose banner of ‘consumers’ although deny that this constitutes any form of organisation or that they subscribe to any kind of agreed policy.

Todays actions are apparently part of an ongoing campaign that will not end until the worlds resources have been entirely plundered and continued life on this planet has been made impossible.

There were indications that anti-capitalist campaigners would counter todays actions but it appears they lunched it out.

Maybe tommorow…
