Anarchist movements links to organised crime

Harlequin | 11.03.2003 09:15

Where does the money come from to support websites like this, to fund illegal street parties to print tens of thousands of spoof newspaper for distribution at Mayday and anti-events. To organsie massive anti-capitalist protests like Seatle, Genoa and Prague. Obviously these things are funded by organised crime!

The anarchist movement claims to be leaderless but it has a hidden leadership someone has to make the decisions, someone has to decide what goes in anarchist pamphlets someone has to oversee the organising of massive anarchist events. This hidden leadership also overseas funding. Money for anti-capitalist events doesn't come out of thin air. So obviously the money is coming from organised crime rackets and the hidden leadership of the anarchist movement have links with Britains top criminal gangs.

Ha ha ha, well spoken!
Yes, of course the anarchist movement is financed by evil secret forces, and what's worse, not only in Britain, but world wide! And you may have realised that anarchists tend to live in luxury villas, travel all the time, feed on caviar and champagne if they don't have babies for breakfast and always wear the hippest designer clothes. Let alone that suspiciously many of them have mobile phones! And - pssssst - they use the internet!
Enough evidence for a deeply worrying conspiracy! Lucky that there are decent citizens like H. to make us all aware of it.

If anarchists had the money, then they would have sorted out the recurrent newswire problem on Indymedia, which really pisses everyone off.

my personal opintion is that it's about 50% rich philantropists who genuinely believe in social change and about 50% hard work through benefit gigs selling che chevara t shirts etc.

you can also look at the example of chumbawumba giving money to indymedia

Bullshit like this so get across some interesting information

You are right in that the lack of transparency does make our movement seem strange or unrealitic from the outside. But then as a pretty oppressed movement, some degree of keeping things underground and not presenting financial structure that could be attacked only seems sensible.

Also let's face it, it would be pretty hypocritical to be against big banking and then have a hugely sucessful public marketing and merchandising department. Wouldn't you think?

Te he! Once again the imposter 'harlequin' is bang on the money. Anarchism is funded by gun toting mugging Yardies who come here on false passports, take all your jobs and daughters, claim millions in benefit fraud and then hop back to trench town safe in the knowledge that their drug dealing profits are in the hands of Quentin & Charles SmytheII two super anarchist chums!

What I find particularly amusing is the divvy one's 'idea' that there is a single "anarchist movement" out there, rather than (as any fool 'cept harlequim can see) a wide range of different and frequently tiny groups with a wide range of different opinions.

And has he ever read an anarchist pamphlet? High production values are not their standpoint.

Fucks sake, if there was a single, united movement then we would have overthrown capitalism by now!

Instead we have the same ol' same ol' "Popular Judean Front" style splits and squabbles. Jeez, this is so obvious.

Finally, O idiot harlequin, WHY would the Mafia, or some such, even bother to fund a bunch of scruffy anarchs?

Mafiosi are not known for their left wing views, and indeed are most usually hired by the likes of the CIA and other reactionary forces to kill/intimidate legitimate dissent.

When the Cuban revolution occured, the Mafia lost Cuba.

Organised crime is just capitalism with the gloves off. It is not a friend of the revolutionary.

Grow up and piss off harlequin, I don't even think you're a spook any more. I just think you're thick.

damn you pesky kid

ok, ok, it's true..i went into organised crime to fund anarchist movements and activists.

the millions it took to organise mayday (banners and some footballs) came out of my pockets.

i think capitalism is built on greed and exploitation, as an organised crime chief, i find these values repulsive.

i'd have got away with it too if it wasn't for the detective genius we know as harlequin

That's his best yet. If he had hallf a brain he'd be so ashamed of spouting such crap that he'd not be back - or at least no using the same handle.

I never thought he was a spook - just a prat.
