Wot No Anarchist Bookfair 2008 thread?

[charlie mowbray]

Sounds like cod alright!

 

[chico enrico]

I remember George Orwells quote about those 'who do not like the smell of the working class' - a lot of working class people smell, such is life, get over it. People who work hard tend not to be hygenically clean, and also part of the class is more likely to smell because of its work and lifestyle - such as agricultural workers, sewage workers, fishermen, lorry drivers, chemical workers and so on. Those for whom the capitalist system has not worked; the homeless, druggies and so on will also tend to be in a difficult and smelly position.

haha! glorious!! are you for real?

You Charlie, for example, are always very dapper and well turned out. Bookfair or not. Cl@ass W@r is operating on some daft 1930s model - that wasn't even true then.

It's true! Working class people smell.

Yes the scent of shit and weetabix permeates my house

 

[charlie mowbray]

Thanks for your praise of my sartorial elegance, butchers!

 

[chico enrico]

So it'll be working class people mainly and they'll smell because of their work? Sewage workers coming straight after a shift down the sewers and not bothering to have a shower, farm workers covered in cow-shit? Fishermen with cod in their hair? That sort of thing?

ho ho, it's this lot i'm gonna keep well away from:

chemical workers and so on will ..... also tend to be in a difficult and smelly position.

i can imagine an army of mutant chemical workers appearing from their plant glowing green like radioactive versions of the reddy brek kid crossed with ET.

only smellier.

Welcome back Attica! (if indeed it be he)

You have been missed

I'll second that - but his posts are so distinctively his that he is (in a different sense) difficult to miss! The brigadier is incapable of camouflage.

I don't know what century you live in, but in my home, I have this thing called a shower.

Showers are counter-revolutionary; a bourgeois deviation from the struggle.

I worked down sewers & around sewege works for 4 to 5 years, and my personal hygene was never as bad as many soap dodging crusties.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY!!!!!

 

[bluestreak]

Speaking as a soap-dodging crusty (rtrd), I have to say that I feel that this sense of exclusiveness, this laundered and pampered aping of the elites, can only lead to dischord in the ranks. I for one am far less likely to show up and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with my brothers in arms if said brother is holding his nose and complaining like some bank manager forced to sit next to an ethnic minority on the tube.

As most of you folk know, we whole heartedly support ANARCHISM in its many forms but The Anarchist Bookfair (bun fight) is a fucking disgrace, an insult to the organisers and an insult to the name of ANARCHISM.

This is not a direct attack on the many good folk involved with ANARCHISM and the event itself in theory should be an example of anarchists having a good time and to fly the Black Flag with pride, instead we are treat to university educated webels who can't hold their beer, lifestyle anarchists who let their dogs off their ropes (instead they should hang themselves with said rope) and quite literally acting no better than the rest of The Middle Class.

So, is this what ANARCHISM has become in the UK? The good Working Class living in the area had to endure the kind of behaviour we'd have come to expect and see from crusties and lifestyle anarchists at the annual bookfair has all the normal STEREOTYPES in full swing. So all those working class families are supposed to see ANARCHISM as the saviour of humanity against the filth and habits of The Middle Class controlling and disrespecting our lives and all we hold sacred. What they got instead was a handful of fuckwits who despite being small in numbers caused maximum stupidity.

If this story had been about a bunch of working class holding an event and doing the same, the Middle Class would have all been up in arms about it, but this is done under the name of ANARCHISM and it's a fucking crying shame.

Again we don't hold the organisers responsible and we still support The Anarchist Bookfair but serious questions need to be asked because if ANYONE can honestly say they were proud of this weekend they can fuck off to the sewer next year because that's all they are fit for and if anyone is under the illusion that ANARCHISM is a driving force here in the UK then you are sadly mistaken because those involved are as bad as The scum they name “The Working Class”, they turn what could (or still can be?) a great anarchist event into a farce. Does anyone really expect anything positive to come out of this? Bollocks!

Lets start to make THE MIDDLE CLASS HISTORY..

"underclassrising is a modern day concept whose purpose is to, educate, lead and direct today’s teenage working class energy, anger and hate in a positive direction. Through health, fitness and challenging pursuits, underclassrising will clear your mind, body and soul, and prepare you for any challenge. underclassrising will lead you away from drugs, gangs, poisonous TV propaganda and all the sickness now destroying your lives and future. underclassrising will equip you with all the tools necessary to achieve this. Only through underclassrising will you be able to fight back and survive in today’s confusing world".​

Shamelessly nicking Dillinger4's joke from another thread:

Is that Dotcommunist in the picture?

 

[DotCommunist]

 

[bluestreak]

Goddam it, I didn't see that thread, I promise, it's just that Dill is as funny as I am so there are bound to be occasional overlaps.

And yes, it IS dotcom.

Oh no, I wasn't accusing you of nicking it - I was nicking his joke by suggesting that an image of a tiny child was DC

Well, looks like I've disrupted this thread sufficiently. On to the next one!

 

[DotCommunist]

All just jealous of my youthful appearance. Bastards

Well, that, and the fact that you get to pay half-price at the pictures.

 

[CUMBRIANDRAGON]

Prepared for what?? Dib, dib, dib.

Why associate anachists with politics its not the 80's you know lol

Cos i get around a bit I have met a lot of working class people, some of them, not all by a long shot, have smelled, to deny that is just stupid. What I am saying, in a non determinist way, is that some working people do smell - get over it. Your hysterical reaction to this says more about your lack of contact with reality than mine.

 

[butchersapron]

Hey CW posted any real life details of people you don't like to indymedia recently?

 

[Citizen66]

I shall be in attendance seeing as it's a stone's throw from where I live.

I won't be staying long if it reeks though.

 

[Cl@ss W@r]

Hey CW posted any real life details of people you don't like to indymedia recently?

Certainly no more than had been put up of me, it was a reply to seeing my name there.

 

[butchersapron]

You saw your name (which you've made sure to plaster all over the web) posted by an anon poster on indymedia and so decided to post the name, details and other family info up of someone you don't happen to like? That sounds like a well reasoned and not insane thing to do. Like i i said, you've crossed the line and are now an active danger. (And nice one on confiming that you are gangster/attica/the black hand/lucy parsons/general strike/ glasgow celtic/ian bone/dave douglass/etc - you'd be great in the resistance wouldn't you|?)

That sounds like a well reasoned thing to do. Like i i said, you've crossed the line and are now an active danger. (And nice one on confiming that you are gangster/attica/the black hand/lucy parsons/general strike/ glasgow celtic/ian bone/dave douglass/etc - you'd be great in the resistance wouldn't you|?)

Nothing has been confirmed nor denied. Seyton the wanker had it coming - he is mine. If I was a danger I could post more names and addresses up if I wanted, including yours. But I do not.

What Seyton and I have is purely personal - by the way you need to reign CHuck and a few others in to on your website - too many names flying around too easily. But that was always your problem wasn't it.
