Perhaps if you did something that showed communities you more to offer than smashing things up, the revolution would take care of itself. Try replacing the state from the ground up. Be a POSITIVE action not a negative REACTION. Do something about the things that people care about.

How may people here actually engage with their local MP? I'll probably be derided for saying this. But, perhaps the time has come to start turning up to surgeries and making sure that people's needs are being addressed. Start naming and shaming MPs who vote for bad legislation in their own constituency to bring pressure on them for their voters.

The people you claim to feel passionate about generally don't give a shit about dogma. They want the council to fix their heating, or Medical Services to give them a fair PCA or to get the council to give them an exemption on their council tax.

Until the community can see you are a force for good, they'll not even know you are there till some arse sets fire to a car in the name of "anarchy"... and running up people's council tax bills.

It'll scare the Establishment more than some yobs in skimasks ever will!

If not, I'll leave to your pipe dreams of a romantic revolution.

Smashing stuff up? What are you talking about?

Hold on.. you are refering to the London Anarchist Forum when you refer to smashing stuff up?

What's the connection?

Some yobs in skimasks? Who that then, the SAS?

Hey, you ask how may people here actually engage with their local MP? I tried that just recently, and got no answer to three attempts to comunicate by Fax, email and phone.

Why don't you come back when you actually understand what you're mouthing off about? Despite your 'know-it-all' attitude it's obvious you havn't a clue, and are not interested in finding out, nor in dialogue - You'd rather bark off a load of tripe.

the article (did you read it?) mentions the G8 demos... that also answers you question abouts thugs.

Your MP by *law* should respond, so long as you give correct address details. You obviously didn't go to their surgery...

Anything else I can help you with?

anarchists: well I shall remain forever clueless (like the rest of the world you are trying to save) if that's all you can offer as "dialogue".

Did I hit a raw nerve there?

OOOHS! MAGOOS! Who is the real magoo? Is statue?

21.07.2005 12:04

Hey Mr Magoo, how do you do.? Still skiddling with the 'real' people on this newswire?

Today you win a prize if you can accurately define anarchy without sarcasm or hostility.

Oh yes, I dreamed up a way of showing conspiracists their failings in satire last night. Do you fancy being a 'nay saying' caller with a singular viewpoint and moderate background knowlege on a spoof talk radio call in show?

Go on.

Wouldn't be too difficult, you just have to do what you're doing now... only verbally.

Kisses.

"I love anarchists, they're so much fun, breaking stuff rules! Yeeha! ( shut up we have a vaild political stance ) No you don't you're all non-conforming layabouts looking for an excuse to burn off excess adrenaline. ( bring down society! smash big business! ) That's really not helping now is it... do you need a cuddle? ( we demand respect for our tempestuous adolescent solution) Ha! ( Ha! )"

Who's watching Magoo?

Actually Mr Magoo. Your first comment on this thread is surprisingly positive, for you, and holds very good advice. You are quite right in all points you make. Clever Clogs. However I don't like the reply you gave on a lower thread to Lil Sis. (thankfully someone saw fit to hide it) Aside from working within the political system and society in general as a force for good, as you have suggested above, I feel it would also be prudent for everyone to behave a little more randomly as she suggested, creating stochastic resonance (or noise as Lil Sis put it) in order to confuse the monitoring databases which exist now and are being set up. This can only be a good thing for freedom. Even if all it causes is more work for Tesco Clubcard statisticians.

My hat is made from 3 layers tinfoil, 3 layers kevlar, 3 layers strawberry jam and I removed my own fillings with a homebase own brand drill.

More Kisses!

Act randomly.
