Thread Name: BS: The future of protest.
Subject: RE: BS: The future of protest.
Rap...The point is, the tactic of "economic terrorism" at last gives the weak a chance to affect how the powerful rule.
Our democracy is so unfair and weighted against the weak,that there has been no alternative but to devise a new strategy.
Capitalism doesn't react to starving children or envirenmental damage, or wrecked communities, but vfor its existence it does depend on financial stability and confidence.

As the 9:11 attack and various other scares have shown, the monolith is not impregnable, and consistent actions against business interests will widen the cracks.

For the first time in my life ,I believe the left have a real chance to retaliate against our masters.

As you say, the right will never give up power without drawing blood, but what is the alternative? Is it to be as Martin says "a future of whinging and pissing" by the psuedo intellectuals,....or on to the barricades?.....I know what side I would like to be on....Ake
