Anti-Capitalism at the crossroads
AWIP | 06.09.2002 07:52
anti-cap in britain has divided into 3 groups,
1)People who want build a respectable mass movment relying on support from the labour movment
2) Those who reject this kind of policy as selling out the creativity and direct nature of anti-capitalism and wont work with anyone they suspect of this or anything else they don't like.
3) the rest of us
groups 1 and 2 seem to be quite happy to have divided everything up between them, one building a media friendly mass movement close to unions and socialist parties and the other continuing with interesting autonomous actions and pockets of resistance.
But what about the rest of us?.
the real battle should be between the politicans / fat cats who think everything is going pretty well in the world and those of us who know that it isn't. If given the chance most people in Britain would say that things are not going well - for them or for the world, but still things continue to get worse.
I know what kind of world i want to see, and i know that others also do, but i don't really care at the moment - top priority is to build a consensus that this can't go on, that's why the social forum slogan ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE is so powerful - let's put aside our differences for now and break down the disasterous belief that there is no alternative. Get involved in the AWIP campaign - all it asks it that you say that you believe that ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE. when this is the dominant consensus it will be time to get down to the details.
