A Call To Arms - Smash the G8 and the IF Campaign
anon@indymedia.org (unimportant) | 05.03.2013 22:55
The IF campaign has decided it can most effectively fight world hunger by making cute little paper boxes. They believe (or so they make out) that this sort of crafting will persuade George Osborne to be nice and not spend aid money on shooting africans.
What a load of crap.
Really?
The G8 leaders are meeting in June to discuss the ongoing extermination of all life on the planet, poor humans first, and how they can make sure they and their friends continue to profit. There's no point trying to appeal to the conscience of capitalism - it has none.
Ordinary people around the world are PISSED OFF. Ordinary people here in the UK are PISSED OFF. And these pissed off people are being lied to and their anger co-opted by this bunch of liberal idiots.
They are trying to recuperate anger and dissent whilst being obviously completely in the pocket of the state. The people responsible for this are as bad as the politicians, making the same hackneyed excuses for the brutality of capitalism and producing the illusion of hope where there is none. The only glimmer of hope left to us is the nebulous, multifaceted struggle which one day will relegate the capitalist era to the history books.
We need to get this message across to everyone concerned with the inequalities we see around the world - the IF campaign is a dangerous distraction from the reality of capitalism and the state. Tens, if not hundreds, of thousands will march (again) and then go back to their lives, content in the knowledge that they have "done something". We need to get the message out there that no, one demonstration will not change the world, and no, politicians will not stop exploiting us if we ask them nicely enough.
This is a call to arms. IF you're an anti-capitalist, STAND UP AND FIGHT. We've been sitting back for too long, been insecure and unsure for too long. I promise you, with courage and determination, we will win.
Everyone knows that capitalism is killing us all. Austerity is just the first shock for Europeans - there is much worse to come, and we all know it. We (population of the UK) have either been subdued or bought off, depending on our social status. We (anti-capitalists) have been apathetic for far too long. We've refrained from shouting about our politics because we're scared that no-one will listen, or because we're tired, or because we're scared of the consequences. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Hand out flyers, write articles, make art, talk to people in the street, build the movement, occupy everything, destroy the apparatus of capital and the state and everything that subjugates us. ORGANISE, ORGANISE, ORGANISE. We have to work together and see past each other's differences to the world that we can only create together.
Enough bullshit. I'll see you on the streets on the 1st of May, June 11th, and every day afterwards.

What about the colours? Do we colour the front in using felt tip pen or crayon?
What happens if I use the wrong colour or it rips? Do I have to download it again or can I just print it out again?
Also, should I use plastic coated paper so it doesn't go soggy if it rains?
These are all questions we need to know if we are going to appeal to the government. We have to remember that the government aren't really in it to listen. They are in it to make money for themselves for instance by ringfencing and then spending millions and millions of pounds on funding Syrian activists to overthrow Bashr al-Assad which conveniently never arrives in Syria, but instead leads to five off-shore companies which are then used to scrub the money clean before re-dispersing it through EU based companies back to the Conservative party.
Or maybe all that money is being spent not on Syrian rebels and activists, but to compensate Israel for shipping weapons into Syria to overthrow Bashar al-Assad.
Or maybe its a bit of both.
But doing a bit of colouring in and paper-cutting with blunt nosed plastic (remember, never run while holding them) scissors is just the ticket for us peasants.
It keeps us occupied and out of trouble.
Physics for cats.
