Paradox of the ‘revolution’

An observer on that day | 08.02.2010 13:18

Sat Feb. 6 Anti cap demo London 1330pm Canary Wharf.

A report back to leader Comrade John Hadley on the Successful “Make Capitalism History” revolution carried out by just two people at Canary Wharf on that truly momentous day of Saturday 6th February 2010…..a day that shook the world!



Note…..now please play slow classical music while reading this article…..Nimrod, by Elgar would be lovely, I think….. or maybe even “Mars - the bringer of war”…it adds to the atmosphere, or may bring tears of joy to the eyes…...

Under the wise and skillful leadership of Comrade John Hadley and organized on REVOLUTIONARY FACEBOOK, just two people were needed to carry out the ‘revolution’ that would bury capitalism in Britain. And indeed only two people actually showed up on the day to carry out this revolutionary masterstroke that would alter the course of history in favour of the ordinary working people of this country ravaged by capitalist exploitation.
‘That is all that is needed’ and ‘Just do it’….. I had heard.
One person arrived at 1300 GMT, and waited around near Canary wharf DLR station… A Canary Wharf cop approached him and questioned him about the flag he was carrying that had not even been unfurled. Obviously and quite nervously the cop was sensing impending revolution in the air. The colour of the flag was enough to worry him. It was red.
After 1330 GMT had passed, (the deadline at which the ‘revolution’ to bury capitalism was to be carried out), and with no one else in sight, a second person suddenly appeared on the scene, and also in earnest and anticipation began waiting for the ‘revolution’ to occur.
There were about 30 police officers and numerous security guards standing around the square outside the tube station eyeballing the two individuals, taking notes and looking quite sternly and at times quite nervously at them. The number of police ‘officers’ seemed to quickly increase when the second individual appeared on the scene with the flag.
I can’t imagine what would have happened if even 50 people had turned up. It seemed the police didn’t quite like the look of the individuals/revolutionaries standing together, as they were both dressed in black and wearing black leather gloves and looking rather suspicious with a flag which incidentally was never actually unfurled throughout the time of the “revolution” being carried out.
A small group of police officers quickly approached these TWO individuals and exchanged “niceties”…you know how it is?….before a major battle the enemies tend eyeball each other up, exchange words, “may the battle for power commence” and the “best of British luck” etc.
The police looked on nervously. The very fact that just these TWO people were only standing there talking, with one holding a red flag, still rolled up by the way, made the police tremble in fear……. These two people waited there until 3pm then left the scene. The police began, in turn, moving off too, following the two individuals and watching them VERY, VERY closely and suspiciously at ALL times. But by now….it was already too late….the individuals concerned had quickly disappeared off the scene and had in all probability outsmarted the cops.
The ‘revolution’ had obviously been carried out on time. It had been a bloodless takeover…. and over in no time at all.
We could now see smoke bellowing from the tops of the capitalist financial intuitions…and at Citibank, if I recall…there was one fire engine standing outside the building with its blue lights flashing and a handful of cops and security men hanging around near the entrance. Obviously power was by now very firmly in the hands of the toiling masses of Britain. Capitalism in Britain had finally been overthrown and buried, once and for all time.

And so dear friends, that is how this ‘momentous revolution’ organized to make capitalism history in England, came to pass on that eventful day of February 06, 2010, at 1330 GMT under that wise leadership and superb organizational skills of Comrade J. Hadley.

JUST TWO OF US – ‘JUST DID IT’!

No one from London turned up and what’s more, neither did the supreme organizer- leader J. Hadley. What was the point? He had no need to. He had these two trusty individuals who he could count on to carry out the “revolution” that was to make capitalism history in Britain.

So, can a lesson be drawn from this momentous event that shook Britain’s foundations to the ground, along with its centuries old brutal capitalist exploitation of its people?

Facebook ALONE ….WAS SUCCESSFUL in organizing, facilitating AND MOBILIZING the masses to CARRY OUT this “successful revolution” on February 6th 2010, that BURIED capitalism once and for all and at the same time, it was carried out by JUST TWO PEOPLE AND TWO PEOPLE ALONE…….on that historic day!

Welcome to the newly founded Revolutionary Socialist Republic of Canary Wharf under the wise leadership of J. Hadley. Visit us today.

Ps. Honestly…..we need to do some serious thinking in the leftist movement in this country and the shambles that its in before doing any of this shit……… UNITY IN ACTIONS FIRST!……LESS FOCUS ON PURELY ORGANIZATIONAL unity first!…..SERIOUSLY…..stage one…..unity of actions….stage two….THEN ideological unity ….stage three…political unity…..stage four THEN organizational unity…….WITHOUT STAGE ONE, TWO, OR THREE…..THERE CAN BE NO SERIOUS STAGE FOUR……JUST A HOUSE OF CARDS JUST WAITING TO CRUMBLE AT THE FIRST OBSTACLE! We need to form militant revolutionary alliances, blocs etc……for unity of actions against capitalism and fight sectarianism within the movement.

Canary Wharf , makes an ideal place for a demo/protest…. Let’s work towards achieving this.
