Anarchism

Anarchists have become a topic of conversation among some wannabee vigilantes in the rightwing blogosphere. Just in case you're interested.

For example:

What would stop an anti-anarchist from dressing up all in black and wearing a black bandanna over his face and then attacking the anarchists with a baseball bat? After all, anonymity works both ways.

I am blogging now from what can only be called “The Occupied Twin Cities”. As the Minnesota National Guard marches through the streets of downtown St. Paul tonight in a display reminiscent of the old Soviet May Day parades, those who made it past the mass arrests of the day try to find a place to rest their weary heads and scrub the pepper spray off. Some of these, possibly last remaining, American heroes released a statement today before setting out to impede and resist, as best they could, that which is monstrous — the parasitic political class and the state that serves it.

Banners appeared in Madison, Wisconsin this morning in solidarity with the blockades and protests against the Republican Convention. We are coming together all over the country to resist the rise of fascism. Fight like hell in the Twins!! We got your backs!
