They did it in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and are doing it in Syria so why not here? A song of resistance for October 15th:

the most lame and pathetic move from the left in the UK yet. Peaceful system reform? Fuck that. You will just end up being battered by truncheon blows while you sit there with your banners, talking shit, being hit .. by shits. Your call though.

who made you a cop

Oh great, another greek comrade coming on here telling us to do what they're doing. Your situation in greece is seriously different. Good luck with what you're doing but following your example would be playing the british situation with greek tactics. Your movement is mass already, we still need to build ours.

All but a tiny few british people don't want anything to do with petrol bombs etc. If we're serious about building a mass movement we need to think about that.

the cops beat up and pepper sprayed peaceful protesters And then arrested them. And tortured them inside. Self defence is not violent and if you see someone being arrested it is not violent to dearrest them. And who are you to tell people what to do and wear?

It seems to me that 'movement building' is stuck in the UK. We seem to be constantly encouraged to build movements when in actual fact, public opinion already has that movement built. Its the trigger, the pivot and the fulcrum thats the guts of what we should be dealing with. I can take a fairly good guess at who has published this article and if i'm right, he tends to take THE most innnefective approach it is possible to take. I've been to some seriously pissed off demo's and seen this guy floating about encouraging people to drink tea, have a discussion, sit on the grass and sing koombaya.

We just don't need this.

I lost confidence in him at a demo in London around 2009. As it got going, he and his freinds posted on an email list about how it would be a wheeze to inject some spurious unrelated cause into the demo to represent some marginalised group or other. That act alone caused some serious grief for those people who spent a long time working real hard just to get the bloody thing off the ground. At another demo in London in 2008, one that had a hell of an impact after it was done, he encouraged people to stop off and drink tea while they were on route. Had people have done that, the demo wouldn't have ended in the way it did. It would have been completely neutralised had people have listened to him. He tends to spend a lot of time attaching himself to campaigns and then bamboozles everybody with academic wittering. Strangely, he seems to concentrate on anti-war actions, but has little or nothing to say on the wars. I've heard him talk endlessly about organising actions, but curiously little about the wars themselves. He has also used Ghandi in the past as justification for pascifism, while not understanding that Ghandi was a wily, clever and masterful user of the tactic of violence.

Most of what he has to say revolves around deal making and compromise toward the state, no doubt something he intends to exploit for his own reasons.

I can't be sure its him, but it sure does read like its him.
