Earth First is still dead

Tinklebell | 24.02.2002 23:07

Earth First is dead. Let's face it people, this group is just going nowhere.

Recently, the following was posted to Indymedia. It started an interesting discussion, and different points of view were given an airing, but then got off the subject with an argument about the Wombles.

(The thread was number 23041 on the 19th February)

"There is just no getting round it, Earth First! is dead, really dead. If the best they can do is to sit around trying to defend some stone circle from quarrying in Derbyshire, while green field sites all up and down England are being built on with housing estates, shopping malls and industrial estates, but they do nothing at all about this then they are not really into defending the earth as such but on some totally irrelevant pagan ego trip, then it is high time this bunch of sad sickos packed it all in."

I don't think any of the comment really refuted the main point here, that Earth First as a movement has gone off into sheer displacement activity. Does anybody else out there agree?

The W.O.M.B.L.E.S

Yes! The W.O.M.B.L.E.S are dead too!
We all enjoyed their mayday antics, but they
just haven't progressed, they are DEFINITELY not
the British Ya Basta!
They are totally incapable of building a mass movemnt to challenge capitalism, all they seem to do is moan that
Globalise Resistance has better resources than them, and advertise talking shop meetings.
Veggie Burgers are not the new molotov cocktails, and
the W.O.M.B.L.E.S have nothing now to offer the movement.
The W.O.M.B.L.E.S are dead, may they rest in peace.
Now to build the anti-war, anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist movement - See you all in Hyde Park this Saturday 1pm!
