With something like the iraq war, if you’re – understandably – against it, then you protest in the streets and make your point of view heard, I understand that completely

but on the mayday thing you don’t seem to be speaking out against anything specific. I know you’re making your point of view audible to people, but I’m not sure what you want to achieve

if you protest against McDonalds it’s because you want them to be more humane etc. if you protest against the war you want it not to happen, or at least make it politically costly for those who start it.
but when you go out fighting capitalism I’m not sure what you want to happen

you think all the billionaire evil capitalist fucks are going to say “oh god no there are people protesting against capitalism! Lets give all our money to the poor and install a socialist government.”

to anyone on the outside looking in it seems there’s about 60% well meaning kids with no clue, 20% faux anarchists looking for an excuse to break things, and 20% angry hardliners. And to the 20% who actually care about what the day means, no one knows exactly what it is you want, what the point of the whole thing is

going on an anti-capitalist march is like going on an anti-terrorism march or an anti – violence march; it’s a nice idea but it won’t achieve anything


I’m not meaning to sound like a condescending cock here, although I’m sure I am

if I’m wrong - which I probably am – someone explain to me what it’s all about, because I’m lost
I’d say make demands or something, tell the media what specifically you are pissed off about, and focus on stuff rather than just spraying your collective bile about the corporate world in the hope that it’ll change something
