Smash McDonalds

We as anarchists, socialist, greens who oppose poverty, Globalisation and economic inequality need to start using direct action.
We need to show to the world that we are serious. We need to send a message to the corporations that we are not willing to accept their persecution of workers and destruction of the environment. Marching down the streets shouting 'RESIST, REVOLT,' achieves very little. It is the direct which is the most affective form of protest. 1 protester who uses direct action is as affect as 10 who only shout, wave banners and clap Tony Benn's speeches.
I do not believe we should attack people. Violence against our fellow human beings is the work of the police and we should not act like those pigs. I do not believe we should attack residential property. We should attack the commercial property of McDonalds, GAP, ESSO, NIKE, Sainsbury, HSBC etc. We should smash their windows, destroy their cash machines and shelves. Their stock should then given to the homeless. We should organize in groups of 100s or possibly 1000s go down to the high-street stores and demolish all that corporate-infected rubbish.
It is the smashing of the McDonalds in MayDay 2000 which scared the establishment in the UK. Unfortunately since then there has been little direct action against the corporations. The direct action I propose will shake the system, send a message to Blair that people are fed up and make the corporations feel uneasy.
