We need more actions like this!

We need way more actions like this. They need to realise that we will respond to their violence and brutaility - whether it's the shooting of demonstrators in Gothenburg, Genoa or Geneva, the risking of lives of blockaders hagning from bridges, or the day to day brutaility of capitalism we're not gonna sit back and take it much longer.

Well done Barcelona posse. Let's see something like it in London, Berlin, Milan, Paris, New York, Mexico City...

The fight doesn't end when the men in suits go home.

Solidarity is a weapon. Support the injured and imprisoned in Geneva. See ya'll in Thessoloniki!
