  Aloha Michael,   We have some thoughts we'd like to share with you regarding the "Black bloc" controversy and your article regarding it.     First off it would be interesting to consider the ...

Forum Post Brussel: Corruption

The sense I get from this article is that the protesters have only an inchoate notion of what they want. All the leaders, including those in the opposition, according to Kargolitsky, are corrupt and or following self aggrandizing neoliberal polici...

Gargantuan inequality is despicable!   These people are the hucksters.  This country was supposedly founded on helping your brother, not, disaster capitalism. Christ was a raw communist!

Forum Post Polson: Types of violence

Excellent article, and I agree pretty much entirely. To my mind, it's not only a question of violence or not-violence, either.  It's what kind, both what sort of specific acts and, maybe even more importantly, the organizational envir...

The idea that most of the black bloc is undercover is, I am sorry Keith, total nonsense. Just as it was nonsense that most of the weathemen, or black panthers, or even sds were under cover, in my day - and perhaps it is your day, too. I helped or...

It's definitely not "uncontroversial" that "most of the black bloc are provocateurs, frequently undercover police or military". Not at all. The documentation you provide is all from other countries. There was in fact no suc...

The link doesn't seem to function directly, however, if you copy and paste to your browser it does. Also, any creative sort of googling should produce what you are looking for.

Alternative media and common sense. In Seattle, black bloc thuggery went unpunished as peaceful protesters were attacked and arrested. Black bloc thugs were seen and photographed returning to police areas and removing their costumes. Same thing...

This is a much needed discussion, and while Chris Hedges’ article may have had “fundamentalist” leanings it can be credited for bring to the forefront an important issue.    What’s made the Occupy Movement unique ...

Keith, what is your source for the claim that "most of the black bloc are provocateurs, frequently undercover police or military"?

Forum Post Dominick: The Threat of a Reasoned Viewpoint

Forum Post, February, 10 2012 Brian Dominick

I've been alarmed to see that even among my generation, there hasn't been much budging on this, and indeed some folks on both extremes have become even more entrenched. For saying on Facebook that Hedges was off base but vicious personal a...

Forum Post Keller: Provocateurs

Forum Post, February, 10 2012 Keith Keller

In discussing the “black bloc,” the first thing which needs to be said up front is that most of the “black bloc” are provocateurs, frequently undercover police or military, which engage in counterproductive thuggery whic...

Yes I know where I'm wandering. And yes, I'm with you in the struggle for a better world. You do a good job, and, as I have explicitly expressed in the Zspace-pages, sometimes you touch me. In return I could ask: I do not think you...

I appreciate your post, Randall, and agree that Chris Hedges' piece rather uncharacteristically went over the line in attacking an alleged protest "group" rather than critiquing a type of protest tactic that has shown up at times (e....

Not the beginning of an answer ... and I suppose you know that. All moralistic nagging. Your own opinion setting the standard. But, perhaps a better question is this: how do you do that - "frighten them"? Using violence witho...

Well, we left radicals can and do argue about a lot more than what you restrict within the paramaters of acceptable debate Karman! See my reflections at http://www.zcommunications.org/occupy-wall-street-at-the-hub-of-global-hypocrisy-by-paul-...

No, this time I'm not with you! You can argue about the price of their product. You can argue about the share of profit they take, concerning the share of profit they allow the laborers (actually, in everyday economics the languag...
