Nice report.
Except -- it shows the typical leftist policeman attitude towards anarchists.
Inside every leftist is a cop wanting to come out.
To round out this report a little, it was anarchists who mainly organized
most of the Direct Action, without which most of the shutdown wouldn't have
occurred, nice legal streetmarches and all notwithstanding.
Secondly, most of the anarchists in Seattle were nonviolent activists.
Thirdly, of those anarchists who made the conscious decision to use
DESTRUCTION, not "violence" --- and those two words are conflated not only by
the corporate media but by the left to confuse issues, where "violence"
should mean harm to person, not to property -- many of them did so in an
organized and very targeted way through black block formations that struck
out at corporate targets who are causing vast amounts of destruction to
indigenous peoples and the environment the world over.
The hypocrisy of leftists who PHYSICALLY ATTACKED AND INJURED anarchists
engaging in conscious sabotage of corporate property is astounding!!!!! With
friends like these, who needs cops?? The ridiculous spectacle of leftists
barricading the Nike establishment to protect it from vandalism shows a very
skewed set of values when street defense was really needed against the cops!!!
You don't need to "agree" with everyone's tactics. People are going to choose
different strategies in their protests and attacks against corporate
domination. Some people are going to choose sabotage of corporate property,
which is a perfectly meaningful act, especially given the amount of
disempowerment in most people's everyday lives. Sheesh! You'd think every
leftist was a SCHOOLTEACHER or something.
You don't have to _agree_ with everyone's tactics, but you should respect
others as autonomous individuals who just may have made intelligent decisions
that __Differ__ from yours.
