Hi Brian! Well I was slightly kidding but more seriously: History suggests it's
not a one way street from direct to symbolic action, the traffic can flow both
ways.

Yeah, that's what I think. Making it flow is pretty important though.
Grenoble used to be good at that, I don't know these days...

Quick pt: It's not 'symbolic' if you burn enough infrastructure.

symbolic either!
Direct action either becomes symbolic, allowing for politics, or it becomes a
fight, allowing the stronger force to win. Just a few groups of determined
fire-wielding saboteurs would be highly effective in building the police state
of which they secretly dream...
