I also run a more scatter-shot blog full of incoherent rants and tumblr arguments. Sorry about that.
The Informal Anarchist Federation (FAI/IAF) sabotaged two points on a railway near Bristol to stop workers getting to arms companies nearby.
They are proponents of “urban low-intensity warfare” with the aim their guerrilla attacks will, in their words, “spread the struggle into different territories and facets of life… finance, judicial, communications, military and transport infastructure”.
In the spirit of consensus, I’m not gonna repeat what has already been said aptly by those before me, so I’ll say: “You can’t blow up a social relationship”
With tactics like this, I guess the question is always (a) how does this hurt capitalism? (b) how does this benefit us?
I can’t see how this helps us or hurts them… can you?
Well this is depressing.
My friend said it well:
“They are determined to get slaves working for the millionaires aren’t they? First it was the unemployed forced to work for free, now the incarcerated. I like the idea of jobs and training being available in prisons, but ffs, this is just slavery. The idea that their exemption from the minimum wage is because they are “paying upkeep” is total BS! They don’t want to be in prison why should they pay for it? You want them in prison, you pay for it.”
fuckin’ right
