Beware: Larc is not as it seems

They are not prepared to deal with the issues of institutional racism which are a fetaure of the way they organise. In 2004 they participated in a Peoples Global Action (PGA) Conference in Belgrade, which decided to actively encourage the participation of rank and file members of fascist organisations. When we found this to be a bit of a problem, their response was to expel us. It was a while before it emerged that they top collaborator in the Ukraine, one Leonid Savin, was a the youth organiser of the Eurasian movement. This is a fascist organisation whose leader Alexander Dugin has had meetings with the BNP.
These people are dangerous and funded by a wealthy millionaire, whose commitment to green politics means he is ready to collaborate with fascists to fight global warming. He is also a significant backer of the PGA. These people are ready to use violence against their critics (I myself have been attacked with an iron bar.)
They also have friends in Indymedia who often remove any critical comments such as this. However our resistance to this clique of reactionaries and their friends will not be diminished by their activities.

get a grip, Fabian

Get a grip please.
I do not live in London, I am not involved in any of the above, and I have never met you Fabian. But I am involved in such politics, and can read between lines, and so know that the above is to do with whatever personal over-involved shit that should be dealt with between people, and not dressed up as fantasist ideological bullshit that stains and destroys, and is in no way even constructively critical.
Even if the nonsense here was true, he's only talking about a few people. If you want to portray a whole group, that is open to people getting involved, as what you think has been done by about 3 people or something, it doesn't seem like you get the politics I think we're all involved with!
Get involved if the LARC update interests you.
Fabian, put up, and shut up.

An impersonal response
25.07.2006 18:26
Issues or racism are generally impersonal - very impersonal - and indeed that is the case here. The attack with an iron bar was not personal but political. Your depiction of this issue as personal seems to be a projection of liberalism.
LARC is itself stained by how it dealt with fascist penetration of the PGA. Their manner of organisaing, which ensures a hierarchy of wealth and power, is what is destructive. There can be no constructive criticism until they start to critcise themselves. They are part of the problem and there is no reason to shut up as you put it.
