WHAT: An anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian contingent in the March 15th
anti-war protest.
WHEN: Meet at 11:00.
WHERE: Meet at the I.A.C. rally. We will march as part of the larger
demonstration. Later, many of us will be going on the unpermitted march
as individuals.
BRING: Black, red and red & black clothing and flags. Banners.
Pamphlets and flyers.
DO: We want this to be a chill space for anarchists and anti-state, class
warriors to make a public showing, with a clear political message. We
will not be doing any direct actions or using any confrontational tactics
while marching with the larger anti-war demonstration.
The United States government is preparing to escalate its periodic
bombings on Iraq into a full-scale invasion. This war, like all wars
between nations, is not about disarmament or human rights. It is about
control over resources. It is about making profits for those who own and
control society, expanding their business and military empires. It is
also about distracting poor and working people in the U.S. away from our
discontent with our lives under early 21st century American capitalism.
It is about increasing nationalism. It is an attempt to get us to
identify with our rulers and exploiters, in the face of a foreign enemy.
We will not be confused or distracted. We are clearly opposed to this
war, and all wars between nations, whether sanctioned by the U.N or not.
But our alternative is not pointless grumbling, an abstract plea for
'peace' or an attempt to convince our rulers that war is not in their
interest. War between nations is never in OUR interests. In a society
largely stuck in a debate between capitalist war and capitalist peace, we
hope to show that another kind of peace is possible, a peace without
poverty, without exploitation, without governors, bosses and managers.
But to achieve that kind of peace, another kind of war is necessary, a
war that sees not only Bush, Blair, Bin Laden, Chirac, Schorder and
Saddam as our enemies, but all bosses, bureaucrats, politicians, police,
landlords and capitalists.
So on March 15 -- international day against police brutality, 2047 years
after the Roman emperor Julius Caeser was stabbed to death --we will
loudly declare our opposition to the American empire, and our solidarity
with working class resistance around the world.
