No anti-capitalist bloc on F15 march: good or bad?

I can see the benefits of no anti-capitalist bloc on the march but also the downside. Read on....

Was I the only one to miss having an anti-capitalist meeting point and section on the march last Saturday?

The good side was that there were none of the usual lines of police and police photographers in everyone's faces.

And the rationale was that ideas could be spread more easily by different people all over the place handing out leaflets/papers etc.

BUT....I for one missed the bonhomie collectivitie. Also, the reverse of the arguments above is that people on the march don't see a nice big anti-capitalist section with appropriate banners - so you could say that the message is just as lost, if not more so.

Hey even French people had a vague collectivity with banners saying 'Cheese-eating surrender monkeys against the war' (a reference to some American official slagging them off).
