Nice to see the creative arts being promoted but lets not forget Hizbolloah role in the region for being fascist cunts and only assisting the Isreal forces in that manner.

Develop the camp of the workers, its lies with you brothers and sister !

For creative freedom in that manner !

Believe it or not, theres actaully a working class struggle in the middle east, when you break thru the middle class lens of indymedia, try libcom.org for recent coverage ....

many points to that

1. cunt is a compliment please dont use it in the same phrase as fascist
2. hezbollah are in lebanon - this is occupied palestine - there are many issues more local than lebanon which this film explores in a way which will blow your western head and other issues it doesnt manage to explore because its only 1 film - women children religion fundamentalism violence freedom manipulation revolution solution blah etc
3. work is part of the power system babylon trap - we work on the basis that we are all human - all those roles that the system fragments us into are bollocks and hold us back from becoming one with ourselves. the question is what do we use our energy for. i have solidarity with people struggling against the oppression of occupation in many ways - work is an oppressor there. eg coca cola get away with paying people 5 dollars a day in the westbank and less in gaza because theres a captive wage market for them and instead of cocacola being burned down, some people are grateful for at least some means of survival.
people are struggling for their very freedoms not their right to work
4. get your info at many places - www.electronicintifada.org or www.imemc.org (check out the links on the website, under alt media for more)
5. sorry but the classwar was a mirage
but there is globalwealth and globalpoverty and all who live in this country and have that passport in their hand are relatively very rich (including you) and if you use that freedom for positive action then you are a warrior, if you use it to bang on from an uninformed antique soapbox then you are an illusion of action
6. please come and interact

I agree the abusing the word cunt is wrong, cunts are objects of lurve not fascism.

Hezbollah are from Lebanon,
but he said region & Hezbollah are followers of Ayatollah Islamic revolution in Iran a reaction to CIA shah oppression of a previous socialist goverment.

You can definetely argue they can be another side of a fascist coin, especially as the Iranian government hosted global nazi holocaust deniers recently.Like Hamas their palestinian friends they can be sexist, homophobic and anti-working class organisations.

Class war does exist & at the same time it is as Crass punkz said "all a load of shit,its all a load of shit".
The point is it is imposed on us by our shitty corporate oligarchy to maintain their power.

Those in Solidarity in other anarcho syndicalist unions advocate worker cooperative control & fighting corporate system. At their height of succes in USA they were the biggest domestic threat ever to the leading capitalist nation who were imprisoned,hung & shot.
Our aim is to destroy the class war & have solidarity with human race, we ain't daft.

Seems to me on marches & actions, whenever I see the most radical kick ass parts of it I see red & black flags, associated with solfed & co.
I think the red & black block, needs to re add afew more green flashes on their flags though, still definetley my favourite bloc besides the sexy pink bloc,

Interesting that - something I've been thinking for a while too. I consider myself both a red-and-black anarchist and a green-and-black anarchist (though not truly a primitivist, but I am in favour of the reduction in use of many technologies, and a return to a much simpler way of life).

I have streaks of many different strands of the panarchy in me - some stronger than others, but I think there is space for all of them.

I'm just me, and I'm sure some of my positions contradict each other a bit, but as far as I'm concerned it's all about balance, and about not being set in stone too much - adapting one's thinking to each situation as appropriate.

I don't feel the red-and-black makes any sense without being completely set within the context of the green. I have at times grown frustrated with anarchist-communists (of which I still consider myself one) who say that green issues are not relevant to their politics. (Those ACs who say that do seem to be only a minority of ACs though, thankfully.)

Equally though, I don't think that green-and-black makes much sense without social justice to bring it about - a social justice that is not directly related to the environment, but it's effects are extremely environmentally significant.

As far as I am concerned, social justice and environmental justice are so tightly related, it makes absolutely no sense to address either on it's own - it has to be all at once.

So, I've been thinking about this for a while, about how I think there could be a more relevant symbol to represent my basic position, which I feel is equal parts red, green and black.

So I came up with the attached image a while back, and have been waiting to see how I felt about it in a few months time. Well, now is that time, and I still feel it sums up my position pretty well. I would be interested to hear anybody's thoughts on it, even if you think it's crap. (Though I intend to start using it whatever you think!)

Apologies for hijacking this thread, my pedal powered friends.
