No, my labour-party-supporting socialist friends, if you REALLY want to stop a war, you organise a STRIKE in relevant sectors of industry, not parade your religious ethics en masse. perhaps you people dont want to stop this war at all, perhaps because THAT might endanger your careers which depend on a labour regime in power.
of course, horrid commander Blair could have been pulled up as early as 2000, when the FUEL TAX protesters mounted an astonishing attempt at such a strike, mostly first-timers with no previous political experience. They put the professional socialists to shame, frankly. doubly so, because when they should have headed straight down to hyde park to help them out, they sat on the sidelines, sneering at what they considered to be the wrong sort of people, falsely accusing them of all kinds of sinister motives.
next Mayday protest in 2001, i saw a taxi driver yelling "where were you last year ? why didnt you turn up then ?" at least i could look him in the face and say i did.

Ultimately we will have to go on strike and rise up on mass… however this will not happen over night. All we can do to hasten that day’s arrival is try to and built a mass movement that involves as many people as possible.
One thing is for certain….anarchists chucking things will not help bring it closer nor will sitting in a gloomy squat complaining about the trots.

This is a symptom of their complete political isolation and weakness.
The events they organised around the edge of the ESF were poorly attended.
As a result of this political isolation they resort to violence upon the majoirty. Sick.
