No matter which of them is in cosmetic government or phony opposition, the blood baths continue. The meddling and interference in other countries' affairs continue unabated. The deep-seated corruption and destruction of society and economy at home in America continues - it's what fascists do on purpose. They were well on their way to fascist totalitarian rule long time ago. In fact, the USSA is so far to the political right that they arrived at their destination some time ago and are now meeting themselves face-to-face on the way back. Stand back for your own safety everyone. That skyscraper building called America will be coming down in a big hurry. Because where there is smoke there is fuel starved fire.

Any thinking anarchist who has read history knows that direct action against a powerful government leads to death and destruction of the movement and the mostly non-violent activists.
Yeah, I don't know who those unread anarchists think they are. You might check with George before you use his material btw. But yes, direct protest and action against the state mostly does take a toll on the non-violent activist movements. The G20 was the most visible reminder of that. You have to wonder sometimes if their main purpose is to reinforce within the ranks of those who carry out state repression, and the state itself, a sense from time to time of their absolute grip around everything that dares to voice an objection. Each event serves as a dry run for something even more spectacular which is held in suspension until required.

As if demolition of a heavily insured, white real estate elephant, yes. And they intend to rebuild it to their specifications.

The state after the G8/20 knows that it can do what ever it wants and the people will not take to the streets. Instead the media and most people will bury the police brutality in coverage and discussion about the violence of symbolic window breaking.

I think the worst perpetrators of violence of recent history were in danger of becoming irrelevant after dissolution of the former USSR. They were in desperate need of a totally fabulous makeover, and after September 11, 2001, they seized the opportunity to become relevant.

That's the problem right there, isn't it? It goes back to my earlier 'when to say when' post up thread, the moment that never arrives for the organized, mainstream leftist masses to demonstrate in numbers their power. Instead they're led in pied piper fashion into the cordoned off areas that the police have been preparing for weeks if not months. And there's no wonder that more citizens don't come out for these events, except for the already converted, because they must know that such actions, along with the few symbolic acts that occur, will change nothing except for facial complexions as people get whacked around by police batons. Meanwhile, the window smashers delude themselves into believing that the moment has arrived, and that all the conditions are there for revolt. Certainly in terms of conditions everything is there, except for the majority who have been corralled into the police zones with the assistance of the leaders of the left, for their ritualistic beating.

Like I said at the time, the best reaction to the G20 would have been for everyone to stay away from the "Security Zone," which would have revealed the billion dollars spent on it to be the waste that it was.

And blow an opportunity to set fire to a cop car and feel the rush?
I don't think that longer-term thinking is everyone's strong suit.

Snert, stop trolling this thread with your one-liners. Stay out.

Lets see now,
Because the same people in the US, who exercise power, are quite happy to do the same thing to others on the planet... then people on Babble dont want to hear about protestations of jackboots coming down on Americans.
Fair enough. I dont agree with that outlook, never have. No surprises all around.
But then there is a pronounced overlapping outlook that not only are protestations about Tea Partiers in bad faith... but, heh, there is no link in the first place between the marching jackboots and the shootings in Arizona. Its just a media scam to get sympathy for Obama and company.

Let's not forget that Montebello and G20 shared a few striking similarities, [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbLU9tdDwxo]G20 provocateurs and cops dress very similarly[/url] (YouTube)
Apparently their mothers dressed them that day. I think I'd demand a refund on my gladio school diploma.
