black bloc is a tactic not an organization. There have been white overall blocs, clown blocs, radical cheerleading blocs, etc.
I don't think that clown blocs are a problem even though some people are frightened by clowns. Anyhow, whether it is a group or a tactic, it is fucked up. Knocking over garbage cans, setting bonfires and breaking windows has nothing to do with the entire history of Marxism. It is a variant on the anarchist propaganda of the deed. I have developed an enormous respect for anarchism over the past 5 years, largely because the comrades never gave an inch to the crypto-Stalinism that allowed so many on the left to back Assad but that does not mean that the black bloc tactic is anything but infantile ultraleftism.
