Then home to bed and a wet dream

Do you have any knuckle dusters, knives, pistols, hand grenades, automatic rifles, machine guns, rocket propelled grenades, mortars, flame-throwers, gun mounted jeeps, trucks, armoured personnel carriers, self propelled assault guns, main battle tanks, artillery guns, mines, helicopter gunships, fight interceptors, bombers, napalm, daisy-cutters or nukes? Or man power?

No?
Well your fucked then aren't you?

The force of an insurrection is social, not military. The measure for evaluating the importance of a generalized revolt is not the armed clash, but on the contrary the amplitude of the paralysis of the economy, of normality.

You're obviously a bourgeois pig with no eye for revolutionary aesthetics, the guardian - this is not.

Its always great to see the creative spirit come to the fore in revolutionary politcs, this freesheet like every good polemic, something Nietzche invited us to engage with and act upon in the aestethics of existence, is definately a breath of fresh air. However, deep breath and a step beyond our frustrations with an expolitative and opprsseive social and economic system that colonises our whole lifeworld requires further critical reflection. Anything that arouses the creative and critical reflections of the determining pissed off youth of the world is a good thing, but without sounding like an old, hungover lefty , bereft of vodka from the collapse of the traditional left one must ask themsleves, where to next, how, and by what means. In short, unless provision is made for some basis of embedding organisational power ( power to referred to in the positive, in the sense , of organising our own communities around common needs ) and exchange relations in a post revolutionary insurrection we are doomed to complete failure. what will be left is a vicious open vacum that many regressive poltics and ideas will quickly rush to fill. The methods and means of organisation are essential, if the end is simply the overthrow of the logic of capital without any organisational and directional basis, in short, without politcs and plausible working alternatives that people can genuinley relate to we will be burning banks for an increased jail sentence. Desire organisation, participation, inclusion and direction as much as a vision of a world without the monotony of capital... the insurrection is not possible or desirable otherwise.

As communities and economic goverance systems accustom themselves to rule and dissidence via the tentacles of information technology, within this electronic fabric of struggle some of you seem to have a problem with speaking english.

Juat because its poetic and long winded does not mean it is getting us closer to the revolution.

Picked up a copy in Red Ink today, looking really really good. Well written and produced.

Fair play to all involved.

Why is so importent to be rioting??

Why is it such a place of prominice on the front cover ?

Does this not glorify violence?

A farce to think that fighting the riot police will achieve anything than putting people off what you have to say.

People who casually break laws cannot be trusted to build a new society. Neither will they trust idiots who don't know that when you fight the state it should always be on your terms , time and place. This keeps the inititive with US the reaction and the catchup with THEM.

Never the other way guys.

The State, which is organised for and around violence, has all the resources it needs to fight physical battles and is only too happy to give double or treble in return.
Why dont you fight them with a weapon they dont have ?

When you fight (as fight you must ) you never react to provocation because that doesnt suit you. You fight the battle in your time, your time and your place. You hit them where they are weak and vulneralble not full frontal in where you can be surrounded, atomised, worn down. If this is going to happen you withdraw and rest and fight another day.

Its people determined to fight the violence of the state with vigourous and determined organisation that mobilises and inspires people. Thats what the state fears, not masked teens with bricks in their happens.

The only weapon you need is your determination and your truth.

And your good name is all youll ever have
Lose it once and its gone.

No doubt you mean well but have a little reflection on this will you?

Keep up the work on the mag!

really interesting a breath of fresh air, maybe make the next on longer.

the calls for you to calm/tone down on here are so funny, activists can be so protective about "their" ideology.

by hmm Sun Nov 13, 2005 16:35

has noddy actually read the freesheet or is he just calling people masked idiots and making assumptions based on the action shot used for the cover?
