i think we, besides quoting anarchist turned politicians, and using hefty amounts of sarcasm, should start building community. The first way to do this is send a clear message. The best way to do this is start a hardcore or metal band where nobody can actually discern the vocals, and which only other hardcore “anarchist” types in the “scene” will listen to. If we at least do this we wouldn’t be called out on not being effective or whatever other shit people want to say about us; somehow being a part of a niche music scene still qualifies as real solid work that is still a respected use of time. The taking over of a place that would otherwise be closed at night and hosting workshops and speakers, and yes even music!, for a weekend should rightly receive massive amounts of flak, while every show that the same 20 people go to on the weekly should just be enjoyed and glossed over as a definitive NOT waste of time. Why can’t we just have barbecues where our friends bands play ALL the time, then we’ll have a real movement!!!!!

anarchistnews.org comments are some of my favorite things about the internet. they make me laugh a lot. i think an appropriate adjective to describe it might be manically.
