"A group of 18 people dressed in black, wearing masks, wielding steel batons and hammers and claiming to be extreme anti-racists allegedly stormed a suburban Chicago family restaurant in broad daylight to assault a meeting of alleged white supremacists, officials said." by MagonistaRevoltin Anarchism

perhaps the "double standard" comes from the 300 year legacy of slavery, followed by hundred year legacy of lynching and terrorism, followed by the 40 year legacy of CoIntelPro repression, followed by the 30 year legacy of mass incarceration? Perhaps that when you have had a bootheel on the back of your neck since a hundred years before the founding of the country in which you live, you might be a little sensitive to people who lord their relative privelege over you as if they earned it? Yeah motherfucker there is a double standard. But it's not based on who gets to call whom a cute nickname. White people always end up on the side of the "double standard" which benefits them most.

Hopefully your willful ignorance (or worse, pride) will earn you a similar hammer to the head.

This trash has been making the rounds on Facebook. "Cut It Out: An Open Letter to the Black Bloc Anarchists" by Snarklefritzin Anarchism

Society has a lot of broken or corrupted infrastructures. Let's address that problem with a solution that will work. What's the solution? LET'S ALL DRESS IN BLACK AND PUNCH SOCIETY IN THE FACE UNTIL IT WORKS AGAIN. BLACK BLOC.

This made me snort in class. Hilarious.

Anarchists have thousands of projects that they do (guess when?) every time there isn't a stupid cattle run in their city. This is where anarchists do the most, ranging from direct service to workplace organizing to clandestine arson. In protests, anarchists are comparatively ineffective, though it is where we tend to get the most press and attention. Also, anarchists are usually much more organized and effective at attaining their goals at protests than the Party Newspaper types are, and certainly more effective than social democrats who beg for crumbs in the age of unending austerity.

Also, it's important to note that while the black bloc is the most cherished organ of anarchist protest, anarchists are often responsible and organizing vast swaths of the protests outside of the black bloc. I'm sure there were anarchists involved at every level of the protests against NATO, a healthy number of anarchists amongst the IVAW soldiers, and I'd be willing to wager that anarchists organized at least half of the protests you've ever attended. If you only knew how far the rabbit hole goes...

On Property Destruction by eliaspowersin Anarchism

[–]MagonistaRevolt 18 points19 points ago

Property destruction is a lot simpler and a lot more complicated than you think it is.

The current white supremacist capitalist patriarchal state has, draped over it, the thinnest veneer of invincibility in the form of "social peace." This peace is of course enormously violent because it masks the enormously violent status quo: capitalists free to exploit labor, unlimited access to female and trans bodies by cismales, use of people of color as examples to unruly white working class people in the form of mass criminalization, wage theft, incarceration, slavery and torture.

This social peace is enormously costly to the ruling class. They need to give the impression to vast swathes of the population that nothing could be any other way and that everything is normal, meanwhile orchestrating a massive bloodletting of nearly the entire population.

It is not the windows which shatter when we throw bricks through them, but the illusion of social peace. There are seams in this social peace fabric, and vandalism breaks the rules, tearing at these seams and creating rupture. They say: we are not as controllable as your masters would have you believe. This can be achieved with mass lootings, as in your example, but it can be achieved more quickly with a simple act of defiance to the rule of law such as vandalism.

Your example would be much more beautiful and dramatic. I don't know why on earth you would reify the commodities you've stolen, though. Just give them away or enjoy a baccanal with what you can enjoy and then burn the rest.

In the meantime, breaking shit gives similar effect, and, as another comrade pointed out, is easier at this point to get away with. Once breaking storefront windows is today as banal as a sidewalk picket we can start moving on and looting capital as you suggest.

Ten people were injured and at least three required treatment for head wounds as a result of the attack Saturday at the Ashford House Restaurant in Tinley Park, Ill., a quiet Chicago suburb."

Oliver North is a piece of shit war criminal who imported cocaine into the United States and armed fundamentalist Islamists in the Mid East and terrorist death squads in Central America. I hope his death is painful and slow.

Political Prisoners' Birthdays in May. Send a card to help remind these freedom fighters that they aren’t forgotten by MagonistaRevoltin Anarchism

[–]MagonistaRevolt[S] 0 points1 point ago

high-resolution vector versions of these posters (which come out monthly), can be found on the Chapel Hill Internationalist Prison Books Collective website

Get together with some friends in your town to send birthday cards to these fighters in our struggle. It’s an easy way to help remind them that they aren’t forgotten. If you make one, remember- don’t use anything like white-out, stickers, tape or glitter on it. We also recommend that you put your name and address and their name and prisoner number on the card, lest the authorities “lose” the envelope and forget where it is going. If you would like to add a birthday or sign up for our poster mailing list, email us at pbirthday@riseup.net.

Remember: They are in there for us, we are out here for them.

do you think these same idiots existed during the abolition movement, who pointed to the shirts of the abolitionists and tut-tutted them for not threshing their own cotton?

This is literally the dumbest criticism of anti-capitalism.
