pictures from Saturday, Dublin, Mayday, anarchist block

ab | 06.05.2004 12:10 | Globalisation | Social Struggles | London | World

A weekend of protest took place in Dublin around Mayday, co-inciding with the official ceremony to celebrate the expansion of the European Union and to "welcome" the new European Union memberstates, most of them from Eastern Europe.
On Saturday evening a demonstration marched into the direction of the "red zone" to express dissent with the expansion of "fortress europe" and with globalisation of trade, but with non-regards towards the people.

exellent pictures- though you have to admit, that picture of the kids with the ball and the black bloc behind sums it up, why the blac bloc looks a bit silly some of the time that is.
i mean - its good, and i like the idea-but black is just a bit lame - why not dress brightly and shit, i rekon that would be much nicer....hohum

FLUFF AND STUFF

I wish I could have been there :D looked awesome, I have to agree I wish there would be more colour but I heed the fact that these protestors wanted a more serious/sinister appearance?? I don't know though because pink and fluff can look pretty sinister also and I'm not any less serious about what I want.
Maybe we could have two blocks one black and one Fluffy :) each to their own and all that.

Take a look at this website to see some very similarly dressed people:

The people in the black block look more like fascists to me. Your movement seems to have been heavily infiltrated by fascists, but then both are anti-capitalists.

The black bloc are clearly not fascists. They may dress like some (or vice versa) but as far as I am aware its a tactical issue of preventing the police identifying people for future hassle/files etc...

And Fascism is not anti-capitalist - economically it is based on a large private sector partially supported by state military funding. Mussolini even said 'fascism should really be called Corporatism, for it is the merger of state and corporate power'. If you're going to troll mindless slurs, at least get your basics right.

Good pics ;-)

"Anarchist Block"

The march was organised entirely by libertarians - the only colours on show were anarchist apart from a couple of SWP and basque flags. The whole march was really an 'anarchist block'. These are pictures of the masked bloc. Most of the anarchists were not part of it.

We never said that we are a black bloc... that's the assumption of people because of our choice to cover our faces from the CCTV and the police cameras.
