Culture of indiscriminate violence is partly being set-up

They sound like agent provocateur groups like Baader Meinhof and RAF were in the 1970s - used to justify further police powers. Horst Mahler - former RAF terrorist - is now head of the Npd.
The trend/fashion amongst the anti-capitalist brigade at the moment is for violent upheaval. Our detracters try to claim the movement is divided and split as a result. The problem is that this becomes a possibility when the violence becomes indiscriminate - it does isolate some people in our movement (for instance, in 1999, I remember seeing a couple geeting their car turned over and beaten up in London on June 18th just because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time - the action by a few mindless thugs brought a justifiably angry reaction from other protestors).
Violence is fine. But it must be targetted. Otherwise, they use it as an excuse against us.
