Liverpool Anarchists

recession is the anarchist's ally

statement a
(all capital has been removed)

capitalism must be destroyed. our sentience must be decoupled and retracted from a psychopathic economic system that has laid waste to the sanctity of human life. there must be chaos, so that new horizons can be identified, the fear of repercussion must be put to one side, we must fast-track capitalism's termination, our moment has arrived, action must be taken, civil unrest demonstrated, this opportunity must not be lost, we must act now.

there are no citizens, there is no democracy; both are horrid fallacies.

recession is the anarchist's ally. if we are to make progress, then we must take to the streets when capitalism is at its weakest, when murmurs begin to louden and change is possible, otherwise we will suffer continual defeat.

for too long, we have been captives of capitalism; playing down the possibilities of anarchy, so that pockets of resistance remain just that. we must welcome the recession, the disorder, mass unemployment, because it brings the discontent that can lead to anarchic change.

it is morally unacceptable that we wait with abated breath for the match to be struck. we are all leaders, we must all step forward. uprising has already begun on the continent, will spread into the new year, and beyond.

this is our window, we must not stall and let government wrong the wrongs and shut out our brightest opportunity. l

iverpool anarchists must stand up and be counted.

my word what romantic nonsense 'recession is our allie' or whatever. what a load of nonsense - i think you've been watching to much greek telly. the problem with most anarchos these days- is they are just like the left, trying to jump on the bandwagon of genuine working class resistance,they are not listening.
its time you were hit by the taser gun of a cop, then maybe you woudn't be so lost inside your own ego.

You think the last 20 years have been 'bad' - its actually been very very good to live here in comparison to other times.

If you want the recession to reach the point of total destruction - what will you do about food? The UK currency will be worthless so we can't import anything. We can't actually grow enough food to feed 60 million. There will be no food in the shops. No power from the power stations. No water utilities. All of skilled labour, money and business will move abroad, we will return to the Dark Ages. Then you will actually know what the proper definition of police state.

Chaos as you put it would be like living in a Mad Max movie. Personally, i don't want to live life in a dystopia, bartering a bag of grain for some petrol and horseshoes. Lets just be content with returning back the 70s - that was bad enough.
