3 extra things to remember for march 18 . . . .
wider coalitions, less "-isms", deeper explanations. . . .yes we can | 15.03.2006 15:45 | Anti-militarism | Culture | London | World
seeing the way the world is getting spun into this "war for news management" spiral, here are 3 things you can do to increase the sanity quotient . . . .
some of us are making extra effort to reach out to people that werent on the "2 million" marches, and write letters, put up posters , etc that include the words of "establishment" types that used to find it a problem getting involved with this sort of thing, even if that is in ways that echo the very effectual "names of the casualties" methods, with some voicing the words of others, in press releases, from the platforms, to journalists etc. . . . we think others can too . . . .+ we think its crucial that they do!
the prevention of the new "iran as target/goldstein" unthought out war-spin, + the hastening of us/uk withdrawal from the area, + strengthening of the worlds support and reparation to it, must have as its KEY message
the defusing of the OVERALL myths of the so-called "war on terror" , since the "two cup" trick of replacing alleged "neo-cons" with alleged "realo-s" once the war-clampdown spiral has "bedded in" ( - to respray the problem without sorting it -) might leave us all in a worse situation, faster, unless the problem is redefined from "who rules" to where the **** are we ALL going.
perhaps things have gotten so serious that good, radical global peace/change plans that include everybody, without scapegoating anybody, are welcomed even by people that might have rejected them until this point. They have.
So its up to everybody to explain "without the -isms",
platform speakers, organisations etc are often the last to suss that out, for their own "structural" reasons, so .... heres wishing you well for good "unexpected" chats, agreement, . . . . etc!
