Dressing in black should be used for mourning or a last resort vs nazis

What most dislike about the black block is that its a self appointed disorganised "group", often looking very tatty& often targets businesses like macdonalds who whilst not ethical are seen by many as24hr lifesavers for the homeless& nightworkers.
Instead of violence against property, why not used brains more & violence as a very last alternative?

Personally I think its a Tactic only valid if done smartly & appropriately in mourning or if attacked by nazis on-physcopaths directly when other methods cant be used,
otherwise its definetely a tactic that seems to get dumni& dumber.
