Is anyone planning on going to K-Town and then on to the G8? I'm pretty sure this is what I'll be doing and it'd be cool to sort out shitz with anyone else so we can coordinate flights etc.

 

[ian bastardcore]

eoin thats how i will be travelling to the G8 so i suggest Ktown then Roskilde then G8 ?? I can check out some tickets for us ??

drop me a mail.

G8 is so confusing. And even if you did overthrow capitalism, what would you replace it with? Is there an anarchist uptopia anywhere in the world? Could anyone explain it too me, retard style?

I could or maybe should attempt the poetic emo crimethinc style reply (with what do we replace cancer?), but I'll simply resort to posting links from the top of my head.

You should also call into Red Ink above flip clothing beside the central bank.


The closest to actually achieving anarchism was during the spanish civil war but current examples of anti-capitalist alternatives today are: the Zapatista movement in Mexico, the MST in Brazil, the factory occupations in Argentina (Brukman for example), grass-roots take-over of some areas of production in Venezuela.

In the UK there are social centres being set up to rebuild the forgotten idea of 'community' post-Thatcher, a host of green initiatives, a reapproaching of allotments etc and of course brighton. Co-operatives are making major headway commercially, while in helping to solve the housing crisis there is the idea of tenant co-ops, which operate up to 40pc more cheaply according to a survey by the canadian government (no management to pay).

In Europe, Christiania in Denmark is a good example. There are large autonomous movements in amsterdam, barcelona, berlin, etc. or italy in general, most european countries, Ireland being more of an exception. Though things seem to be picking up.

explain it too meQUOTE]

i believe in this context, you should have said 'to' but then I'm just being anal.

G8, in a nutshell is that. It's 8 superpowers dictating and laundering money, digging for oil, plotting and scheming; ensuring the rich get richer and hoping the poor will just die off without much of a fuss. (The ones that stay alive can be put to use making the clothes on people's backs and making your converse trainers at exploitation rates.) If that sounds like fun to you, then rest on your laurels. If not, get on the bus to Scotland. !ninjaaaa

I think this pretty much sums it all up:

Here, can anyone suggest the best route from K-town to scotland? I'm tryin to sort out flights but i've just realised its not goin to be as easyas i'd hoped. And Ive left it really late.

 

[Willie Willions]

Me and Shorty are flying from Malmo to London and getting the Megabus (www.megabus.com) to Glasgow, it costs something like 14 bananas.

dear everybody who flies, have fun when they shut down the airports.

dear everybody who flies, have fun when they shut down the airports.

so the anarchist shopping list should read:
banners
molotovs
spray paint
helmet
something to mask up your face
and flippers, (for swimming to scotland from denmark, of course)

 

[broken arm]

so apparently this G8 summit is going to be carbon neutral, use locally sourced food, reduced perks and include payed bar for journalists and most delegates etc.

that's pretty funny init.

 

[Black Elf]

banners
molotovs

its a nice shopping list but i would'nt bring over any of those things on the bus cause you'll be liable to have it taken off you when and if the bus gets searched which i think it will, be sensible dont bring molotov's i mean come on thats just daft......dont bring balaclava's or ski masks , a black t-shirt does the extact same job . Spray paint is probably going to be taken also!

THE BUS WILL BE SEARCHED!!! BE SENSIBLE!!!
SAVE YOUR DOSH GET THE STUFF OVER THERE!!!!

 

[Blackenedflag]

When Im sipping my complementry cup of tea at 22,000 feet, I'll be thinking of you getting cavity searched in Belfast. yo!

 

[Shorty]

be sensible dont bring molotov's i mean come on thats just daft......

[W.]

There's still room on the dissent busses, 100 for ten days 1st-10th of july

molotovs, uzi's, grenades, the lot. it'll be a fun-filled family day out. i say have a G8 every year! sure why not? when you're done brandishing your weapons simply DHL them over to me for use in the WTO.
