So you can stand to see Falluja bombarded with chemical weapons and still pay your tax and still go to work...but if they start to fuck with your comfy old-age we should give a fuck ? And unions like Unison are non-hierarchical how exactly ?

I used to work in the public and private sectors, and none of the people who worked in the public sector could ever have made it in the private sector. These are people who get promoted to dole-officer after so many years on the dole. You are half my family, the alf who looks down on me. Fuck you.

I also have to say, having visited a few peace camps, there isn't an anarchist I've met who wouldn't shine in any corperation if they didn't have any morals.

To the admittedly few anarchists out there, be wary of the word 'solidarity'.

Solidarity means being guilt-tripped into helping someone who never once and never will help you.

Solidarity is gaelic for 'fuck you'.

How much of IM funding comes from donations again ?

Pensions not war!

In reply to the post above -

I organised protests against the murderous assault on Fallujah, and continue to resist the war and all the other terror and exploitation that capitalism inflicts on the world as much as I can.

I think a big reason why governments can get away with so much mass murder and destruction is the lack of power of ordinary people have. Our protests are ignored. But strikes can be powerful.

If the pensions strike wins it will be easier to beat the government and the bosses on other issues, like war, environmental destruction and poverty.

And I have lived at peace camps and found much support from public sector workers. I have been an unemployed activist as well as a worker.

You seem to hate organised workers, and have experienced problems feeling that you are looked down upon in some ways. This is sad.

However, I think that the working class and poor of this world all deserve decent pensions, along with welfare, housing, healthy food, clean water, life and peace and many other things we can join collective struggle to win.

FUCK NEGATIVITY!
LIFE! LOVE! RESISTANCE!

Sorry sir for standing up for ourselves without meeting your strict ideological standards.

All million-and-a-half of us will go home quietly and await your further instructions.
