Keep walking

Keep walking and hopefully you won't have time to deal in atrocious system which is capitalism. With luck luck you will walk right of the end of a cliff.

come on


Thank you for using IMC

The capitalist mainstream media doesn’t allow us to express our ideas in their pages, they silence our voice, even so, you are welcome to promote your capitalist walk here in IMC. This is because, unlike yourselves, we are not afraid of freedom of spech or freedom in general. Go and walk for capitalism as much as you want. Yes, use this free space of progressive change to advertise provocation and confrontation. Thanks for believing so much in our anti capitalist sharing of ideas and freedom. I am sure your mainstream media won’t publish your pitiful walk anyway.

Don't shoot the messenger!

I was posting this up in the hope people would decide to disrupt the event, either all of it or at least the awards ceremony. It struck me we could give out our own awards to the winners. Cardboard child sized coffins perhaps. We could also give out an "International Anti-Capitalist Award" - if anyone has any nominees for this, maybe they could post them on this thread!

:-p

shoot first

27.11.2001 15:01

there are a lot of shoot first and read the article second
types on this channel.... someone takes the trouble to keep you informed and gets shot to bits. Instead of taking pot shots at every thing you don't like, don't understand, it'd be nice if a few more usefull comments were added to the original posting, lot's of people belittle the commentator saying his version is shite without even a snippet of their "better" version of events. if this march for capitalism is going to take off, it should be ridiculed and made to look the sham it is.. hope someone of these armchair anarcho kritix will think of something non violent and fucking amusing..

are you being set up

What is this “walk for capitalism” surely some mistake. A wind up or something more sinister perhaps? Mrs Golgi tends to thinks so. We of the Anti persuasion turn up (morbid curiosity) to see this monumental occasion and find plod walking with a few dinosaurs complete with the honourable tactical support team providing whatever assistance they can. Meanwhile the real walk for capitalism continues at a high street near you.

To the dinosaurs – no matter how you try to extend the system of greed, injustice and inequality you will fail- WEAREEVERYWHERE

Nah, sadly it's for real!

They've been promoting it for months! The positive thing is that at least some of the die-hard capitalists are beginning to realise that there is a problem and they think it needs defending. Capitalists have never been worried about gate-crashing the movement's actions, and I think it would be good to provide them with something to think about.

Sure the Old Bill will be there. And, yes, I do realise who they will be focussing their attention on :-(
