Most here are familiar with the Anarchist history of direct actions -- like that of Berkman -- and see them as a mistake that usually makes things worse, from roundups and deportations to world war. Yet, the murder of an insurance CEO has sparked sympathy and discussion awakening a powerful public outrage -- not only at greedy, murderous insurance but at corporate power.

This is a vital awakening and thus, a rare successful direct action. I see this as inspiring in this rotten time of corporate dominance. Somehow it must be pushed toward building a e rebellion against corporate rule. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
