Voices of Resistance from Occupied London

:rolleyes:

No i stated in my first post where IMO the answer to the question of funds to produce magazines is to be found. I then raised what i believe to be a fair question with regards to the lack of anarchists posting on the welfare reform bill thread. I also asked why so many anarchists seem by looking around on these boards at least not to be concerned by a bill which will effect them if they claim benefits.This IMO does not constitue trolling I have not IMO insulted anyone unless the term 'rich kids' is an Insult at most i am guilty of sarcasm. I honestly cannot see the point of such a magzine a magzine which no one else on this thread has really attempted to explain the funding for. Also if you and nobody else cares much about it then i do not understand what your problem is

I explained the funding for it!
 
well theres no arguing with that is there.:rolleyes: you see thats where our experiences differ

Well, that's funny, because I've discussed this with other Anarcho's and they don't recall having met many, if any in fact, who had trust funds, vast inheritances or considerable funds or assets either.

Which is probably why we do things usually on a shoestring, with money coming largely from street collections, magazine and book sales (usually small profits, if any), benefit gigs and parties and, as I said earlier, a lot of time, effort and money coming out of activists' own pockets.
 
I beleive that on these boards somewhere and in comments made to the media you might see that they did refer to themselves as anarchists

its irrelevent to your point really, unless they also made it known that they had trust funds, which i doubt

and even if they did, so what, just means anarchism attracts people from across social classes, a good thing for a political movement really

fact is i can think of one anarchist i know with a trust fund, the vast majority of us are skint as and from wc/lower mc backgrounds
 
Next time I'm in London I'll run a straw poll amongst the scaffolders, Mastic Men and other trades to see how many went to boarding school. I'll make a preliminary guess at 0%

and ask them how many were in that mansion in the middle of london next to the american embassy while your at it. I'll make a preliminary guess at 0%

what a daft thing to say

since you seem to know, could you provide some information on the socio-economic status of the people who squatted that mansion
 
and how have i been shiting on this thread? All i have done is voice my opinion i have not even insulted anyone . Not one person!!! Still do whatever gets your rocks off:rolleyes:

Anarchists = Rich kids with turst/hedge funds

thats not an opinion its a statement of fact and one quite so obviously incorrect and crass that it looks very much like trolling
 
I should have known it was dangerous to bring up money like this... its really not worth bringing any animosity to the table.

If it was funded through fundraisers - great
if some rich individual can afford it - super
i was just curious

It's not you, don't worry.

Yeah, it's fundraisers and donations.
 
What a fuss. It looks well designed to produce an impact using only 2 col print. Phamphlets, leaflets, flyers are art and have been printed for centuries.

Artists in spare time create art. Now printers........I know 2 printers who have helped me for a mininum fee.....worked for free getting it just right.

It is one of the oldest forms of art.

IMO it is not incorrect and is only being construed as trolling so as to cover over the questions i have asked in relation to my own experiences with anarchists. I also think that a lot of you are as usual are being far to thin skinned - i did not say that anarchists were 'bad' or 'a waste of space' nor have i critiqued them from a right wing perspective. I have known some lovely people who were anarchists and they were uper middle clas/rich. I think it says a lot about posters on here that they get on the defensive every five minutes. You see IMO anarchism is a failed ideology for a number of reasons.

BTW i have not forgotten dot coms request so watch this space...
 
What request?

I asked if we could exchange views civilly which seemed to sort of work:D

You might be referring to smokedouts post about the socio-economic make up of them next to the embassy lot fella.
 
firstly dont call me son dick

secondly, you have met a couple of anarchists who were from upper middle class backgrounds which had led you to state that all anarchists have trust funds

which clearly isnt true as the anarchists on this thread, none of whom appear to have trust funds, have explained

so fuck off eh

Your being totaly unreasonable.

If an anarchists on welfare how could they afford to go to the pub and make enough collective donations to the extent to fund this publication. :hmm:
