Forgive me for what I’m about to write is not really directed at you.
THESE PROTESTS NEVER HAVE BEEN ANTI-WAR. They have always been anti-American or anti-Western. Even in some obscure ‘causes’ you find out it’s really about perceived American involvement that draws these people out, not the cause itself.
Anarchists of the sort here are the Leftist Anarchists who have a different game plan but the same end point of the stateless communist society. IN that way, they are like the Anarchists in Spain during their civil war. They are not anarcho-libertarians/capitalists, certainly.
And like most radical Leftists these days, they are domestic terrorists, traitors and absolutely OK with any violence that furthers their cause. I could actually respect someone if they TRULY only opposed a particular government action (or ALL government actions, not just those by Republicans) but that is absolutely not what these people are about.
Anyone recall any large ‘anti-war’ marches during the whole Kosovo affair?
I agree with you.
It’s how they position themselves - that you made clearer!
