Dissent! - A Network of Resistance Against the G8 has recently formed to help coordintate resistance to the G8 Summit in 2005, with the aim of helping build a lasting anti-capitalist movement in the UK.
Dissent! is a network formed to build resistance to the 2005 G8 Summit, to be held in the UK, and capitalism in general. National Dissent! network gatherings take place approx. every two months. The next is to be held at the Manchester Environmental Resource Centre on the weekend of 24th and 25th of April. For more info contact

The network is open to all who subscribe to the PGA Hallmarks, see:

no more abstractions

That the disabled are being shafted every day by the DWP.
Maybe , these issues are too real, it’s easier to do direct action for the ‘environment’ or against abstractions such as ‘capitalism. I was there at the start of the UK A/C movement in 94: M11, CJA, RTS, J18 etc and to be honest, while there are some well meaning people involved, I have had my my fill of it now. Only by turning your attention to everyday problems will you get any respect or support from the wider public. I’m not really sure that that is wanted though. Maybe the Independent Working class Association (IWCA) can do some of this though.
Get real, fight for your neighbours , not against
smoke and mirrors.

You need to get glasses my friend, that way you might see the bigger picture.

I still feel that in order to combat problems, getting the mass of people on our side will not be easy. Try saying to someone that we should live as anarchists? The way the media has painted anarchy, they would think you were a murderer or psycho.
BTW. These are my views not Dissent! or anyone elses.
