G20 Anarchist Militias to the City

Buenaventura Durruti | 16.03.2009 16:21 | G20 London Summit | Workers' Movements | World

"We are not in the least afraid of ruins. We are going to inherit the earth; there is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves the stage of history. We carry a new world here, in our hearts, and that world is growing this minute"

Buenaventura Durruti.

We are not in the least afraid of ruins...
We are not in the least afraid of ruins...


See you there comrades!

True anarchist


april fools?.1more step2what?suicide,we dont need a bloody civil war,

17.03.2009 07:58

it would destroy half the world at least.This is either a early april fools or from a slightly deluded vangaurdist suicidal sect or the police, anarchists can guess which minor one might produce it. Seems they like to try & take over+ take credit for anarchist movements-unions after they start, even if their ant union.
I'd much rather vote in the Bristolian party or the ICWA, even the green party, possibly Tony benn & all interested in real cooperativism& democracy.
I know you mean it with the best intentions, I aint a fluffy fool or a spikey one.

Lets expose capaitalism & take the piss out of the bankers,
capitalism is a sick joke!, we dont live in a real parliamentary democracy,G20 is even controlled by corporations, but still we havent completelty proved to people that Obama,bush etc serve corporations. G20 is a cover for the Bilderberg Group & the Trilateral commission, yes bankers really do set this shit up still. Google Holly Sklar & real international labour expert,lets stop being slaves to linguistic experts like chuomsky

WTF

17.03.2009 10:46

er.... what??

don't get me wrong it's a lovely pretty poster, but NONONONONO, there will be no anarchist militias taking over the city on G20. it would be lovely if there were enough of us, but we'd be massacred.

let's just worry about not getting kettled first, eh?

tony the anarcho


wow this looks legit!

17.03.2009 11:51

gosh this looks legit. I'm especially convinced by the lack of any other tyext cept a played out Duzza quote.

Certaily couldn't be some agent provocateur.

bill stickers


hooray!

Oh come on, it's a wonderful poster with a stirring excellent quote, designed to get all our angry joyful brave revolution excitement flowing, to burst out in defiance against the G20 and bring liveliness and revolting grit to proceedings. Getting people excited using anarchist slogans and dreams to stir up such emotion is hardly being an agent provocateur. Or else, maybe provoking people to action is a positive thing - we need to provoke ourselves and each other into taking action. I don't think the call to arms was meant to be interpreted as a straight up get-your-hands-on-some-AKs-and-shoot-some-capitalists style command, more a metaphor for militancy and action.

The poster tries - and, on me, succeeds - to get people excited and motivated by using imagery and ideas that are maybe a little more militant and hyperbolic than we're used to - maybe trying to evoke some of the revolutionary spirit associated with the 1930s and associated global economic dooms. I don't think it's something we need to take offense at.

The same graphic artist/s as did the famous Obama graphic...

Anyone who thinks that anything other than an emergence of common-sense and nature wisdom in people, from the grass-roots first and foremost manifesting as action geared towards growiing our own food is really 'out of touch'with reality.

WE ARE NATURE BEFORE we are civilisation.......

Militias make the same mistake as Governments and Dictators : POWER OVER OTHERS IS DOOMED IN THE LONG RUN, because nature is co-operation of the most intelligent, most connected.

just because

18.03.2009 12:03

there will be no anarcho militias decending upon the city doesn´t detract that anarchos need prepare for such eventualites. well oiled guns stashed in the woods might well prove a prudent move. meanwhile keep your wits about you, stay fit and practice martial arts be me reckoning........a combination of kick boxing, aikedo and boxing itself be my own preference

not you

It's called being playful
Read it how you will...

I agree with mavis, this is a great image

19.03.2009 22:59

I agree with mavis, it is a stirring image. Those complaining are being too up-tight and serious about things.

The cops and the state have much better ways of trying to undermine us than producing arty literarature - anyone who seriously thinks this is the work of an "agent provocateur" is being seriously over-paranoid.
