shame this thread has degenrated .. cool graphics pk even if it is an attempt to get thread binned!
but yes the basis of teh trhead is true and i believe it is a BIG deal. sure it is NOT a movement but the meeting represented a very large % of active @ in london and this is teh first such gathering for many years decades i am aware of
it comes on teh back of negative stuff - economic crisis in US / prospect of serious food price rises even shortages / biggest ever far right represenation / etc
and positive stuff - massive disillusionment with established politics and and reports from all over that people have had enough and that only an @, being anti authoritarian and anti dogmatic, was capable of filling the void left by the clear abandonment of the working class by all the maj parties and much of the gobbledegook far left
the meeting was unanimous in two things ( in a slightly contradictory fashion) -
that we now is the time to act but we must be real and non dogmatic and orientated to the working class
but that also we would, as groups and individuals support each other in what each other is doing to create inertia and synergies
there was a very strong feeling that this may be our moment to provide a lead in helping stop / change this disasterous slide into barbarism we are witnessing
there was also unanimity in supportting the GLA pisstaking demo against the Crook the Cop The Fascist and the Toff ..
