I'm trying to comprehend the logic of the protest.
You want Philip Green to collect more tax from the shoppers and hand it to the state, so their hired thugs can break the law and kidnap and imprison you. Why?

Seriously, in 2005 Philip paid his family £1.2 billion
He really isn't going to give a rats arse about your rantings

Move on

it's not tax from shoppers, it's tax on massive company dividends

although you may like to think that tax's only go to hitting protestors, they also go towards hospitals, schools, social care, fire services bla bla bla bla....

you pay tax, so should he.

So long as they provide us with NHS to shut us up, we'll not stop funding their crusades and social control. Government must have a monopoly over all health care, all education all fire safety etc. The the government is us. We are the government. Long live social control (oops! I mean socialism)

Oh, just one thing, do you not think if you tax top shop profits, they don't have the power to just put up the prices on the essential products they provide. The ordinary working classes wont live long in the english winter without clothing and we can't make it ourselves.

I don't mean to be negative about your protest, well done for telling people about the hypocrisy of the state, but don't think it can be fixed.

>>it's not tax from shoppers, it's tax on massive company dividends

your sure its not corporation tax?
if its dividends then you probably want to aim the protest at the recipient of the dividents

No one is stopping you going private with Bupa etc?
And who else is going to deal with "fire safety" - you with a bucket? I'd rather have the fire brigade thanks.

>>Oh, just one thing, do you not think if you tax top shop profits, they don't have the power to just put up the prices on the essential products they provide.

Not really. They can't put up prices because they must be competitive to stay in business :)
"the power"? ..... you mean they can choose how to run their own business?
If they do try to put the prices up too much, then they wont be in business long will they.
I think the issue is a small set are managing to avoid paying corporation tax.


> The ordinary working classes wont live long in the english winter without clothing and we can't make it ourselves.
Yes - precisely. No one is forcing us to buy clothes from shops. Personally, I think it is a good idea. I don't want to freeze to death or spend hours and hours making my own clothes. It makes more sense and is cheaper for me to buy them.

Basically, I'm not a clothes maker, I would pay a clothes maker to make my clothes :)

You can be anarchist for the abolition of the state and still see the hypocrisy of rich people (who fund the politicians paying low or no tax whilst simultaneously expecting plebs like us to pay a lot of tax.

There are two tactics we can use in practical terms whilst waiting for the eventual abolition of the state:

1) encourage regular people to fiddle their own tax as much as possible.
2) attack the rich scum directly and "tax" them by stealing from them.

And Philip Green may not give a rat's arse what people think but there are a lot of nutters out there on our side who might well be inspired to take some Robin Hood or French Revolution style action against him after reading this!

cops exist to protect the rich and powerful (and their property) from the poor.

why on earth is anyone even mildly surprised by their behaviour? this is why they exist, this is why they are cops, this is why the state grants them the powers it does.

>> cops exist to protect the rich and powerful (and their property) from the poor.

You think 'the poor' should just be able to taken stuff off people!!?

Well, my theory is different. if someone owns something, then yes, they have a right to have it protected from someone who wants to take it off them. Afterall, they paid for it!

Heres one for you....
If the "poor" suddenly win the lottery (which they do). How come they don't give all their money away to the poor when they suddenly become "rich" ?

I bet if you won the lottery, you wouldn't suddenly be thinking about the poor
