The spectacle strikes again. May day 2007 London

Leaflet handed out in Trafalgar Square by the new Angry Brigade


Version in English:

WHAT IS THIS FUCKING STINKING CRAP ALL ABOUT?.
Our first enemy are the Trade Unions and the left-wing parties. They only want to grow and feed their leaders. They are there only to pretend that there is an opposition against the state and the capitalism, but they lie. All they want is to convince us to accept a few crumbs that fall from the plates of the riches by time to time, have us waiting for reforms and not actually fighting for our own emancipation which will only be achieved through the absolute destruction of this system.
They want us to praise for “better jobs”, more opportunities and for the maintenance of the so-called “Welfare State”, More lies!!. Salary work is the present-days version of slavery and the state is never our ally, but the political and armed branch of capitalism and it must be destroyed altogether with the system to which it serves, without any type of “intermediate stages”.
In the latest editions of the 1st of May we have been going for a stroll hand by hand with a substantial part of our enemy, and we have not realised of that, despite of it was bloody evident (portraits of Stalin and Lenin at the front of the demonstration?, come on mates, wake up!). But those are not the only ideological obstacles for a genuine proletarian unison, we have also the division into postmodernist categories of gender and race, the laughable “alternatives” stubbornly offered by wannabe alternative artists, by the Rastafarian movement for instance, to which Haile Selassie was not a blood-thirsty dictator, but a noble and African people lover... and what about religion and the false alternative of a blood thirsty and fanatical Islamic fundamentalism?. Nobody mean here that problems such as racism, sexism etc… are not important, that the diversity within the revolutionary movement is not a good thing, but when those “identities” are only useful to keep us isolated to one another they become conservative ideologies that must be attacked and criticised for what they are, false interpretations of the reality. We are allowed to look rebel as long as our discourse was nothing but fucking aesthetic appearance and was useful only to keep us deluded, alienated and losing our time and energy in stupid events like this when our daily life is nothing but a combination of boredom, badly paid jobs and consumption of shit. We have not power over our own lives, no matter our skin colour, gender etc… that is the central problem. That is the central point that makes, like it or not, PROLETARIANS of us, and it is something that nobody can choose freely.
The truth is that we do not want to work any more for this crap; the truth is there is a war going on HERE, not only in Irak. It is WE against THEM and their plethora of politicians, police, army, businessmen, right or leftist parties and reformist trade unions, intellectuals, anti global new age motherfuckers such as Richard Branson, Manu Chao or Bob Geldof among others, etc. They turn our lives into rubbish.
Only organising ourselves in self-management councils, only opposing any hierarchy, party and Trade Union (betrayers), only being united as a class and marking the dividing line between our interests and theirs, we may managed to revolutionise this world and save what has not been destroyed yet. We have no more patience. We have no long time.

• Towards the autonomus organization of the proletariat.
• Against all parties and Trade Unions. Against the Stalinism-Leninism and any organization that aims to take advantage of our real struggle.
• Towards the Anarchy, towards the communism.
• Riot, robbery, direct action, assassination, shoplifting, sabotage… All valid weapons in the struggle against Capitalism.

LET’S RIOT!!!!
UPS, UNITE, PROLETARIAN SISTERS!!
UPB, UNITE, PROLETARIAN BROTHERS!!

Version en Español:

DE QUE VA RODA ESTA APESTOSA MIERDA
Nuestros primer enemigo son los sidicatos y los partidos de izquierdas que solamente quieren crecer y alimentar a sus lideres. Su funcion es hacer como que hay una oposicion contra el estado y el capitalismo pero mienten. Todo lo que desean es convencernos para aceptar las pocas migajas que caen de vez en cuando del plato de los ricos, tenernos esperando por reformas en vez de luchando efectivamente por nuestra propia emancipacion, la cual solamente sera alcanzada a traves de la destruccion de este sistema.
Ellos quieren que recemos por mejores trabajos, mas oportunidades o por el mantenimiento del llamado estado del bienestar, mas mentiras!!. El trabajo asalariado es la version contemporanea de la esclavitud y el estado nunca es nuestro aliado sino el brazo politio y armado del capitalismo que debe ser destruido junto con todo este sistema sin ningun tipo de "etapas intermedias".
En la pasada edicion del primero de Mayo todos fuimos de paseo mano a mano con una sustancial parte de nuestro enemigo, y no nos dimos cuenta a pesar de que era jodidamente evidente (retratos de Stalin y Lenin en la cabecera de la manifa?, vamos colegas, despertemos!).
Pero esos no son los unicos obstaculos ideologicos para una genuina union proletaria. Tambien tenemos la division en categorias postmodernas como las de genero o raza, las risibles alternativas propuestas cabezonamente por aspirantes a artistilla alternativo, por el movimiento rastafari, por ejemplo, para el cual Haile Selassie no fue un sangriento dictador, sino un un noble hombre que amaba a los africanos, y que hay tambien de las religiones o de las falsas alternativas ofrecidas por sangriento y fanatico fundamentalismo islamico?.
Nadie esta diciendo aqui que problemas como el sexismo, el racismo etc... no sean importantes, que la diversidad dentro del movimiento revolucionario no sea algo bueno o deseable, pero cuando todas esas "identidades" solo sirven para mantenernos aislados a los unos de los otros entonces se vuelven ideologias conservadoras que deben ser atacadas y criticadas como lo que son; falsas representaciones de la realidad.
A todos se nos permite parecer rebeldes siempre y cuando nuestro discurso no sea otra cosa que apariencia estetica y sirva para mantenernos a todos alienados, autoenganiandonos, y desperdiciando nuestro tiempo y enrgias en eventos estupidos como este cuando nuestra propia vida no es mas que una combinacion de aburrimiento, trabajos mal pagados y consumo de mierda.
No tenemos ningun poder sobre nuestras propias vidas, independientemente de nuestra orientacion sexual, genero, o color de piel...ese es el problema central. Eso es lo que nos convierte en PROLETATRIOS Y PROLETARIAS. Y esta condicion no se escoge libremente.
La verdad es que no queremos currar mas para esta mierda. La verdad es que ahora mismo hay una guerra AQUI, y no solo en Irak. Es NOSOTROS contra ELLOS, y toda su pletora de policias, politicos, militares, empresarios, partidos de derecha o izquierda, sindicatos, reformistas, intelectuales o "luchadores" antiglobalizacion "new age" como Richard Branson, Manu Chao o Bob Geldof, entre otros cabrones. Todos ellos hacen de nuestras vidas mierda.
Solamente autoorganizandonos en consejos autogestionados, solo oponiendonos a cualquier jerarquia, partido, y sindicato (traidores), solo uniendonos como clase y marcando la linea divisoria entre nuestros intereses y los suyos podamos quizas revolucionar este mundo y salvar lo que todavia no haya sido destruido.
Nosotros ya no tenemos paciencia.
No tenemos mucho tiempo.

Por la organizacion autonoma del proletariado.
Contra todos los partidos y sindicatos, contra el Stalinismo-leninismo y cualquuier organizacion que quiera aprovecharse de nuestra lucha.
Por la anarquia, por el comunismo.
Distrubios, robo, accion directa, magnicidio, robar en el super, sabotaje.... todo armas validas en la lucha contra el capitalismo.

Montemos Jaleo y disturbios!!!

Unios hermanos proletarios
Unios hermanas proletarias

La Brigada esta colerica (de nuevo).
