DC Anti-War March was a HOOT!

[REDWAVE]

The oppressed masses in the U.S. have begun to fight back against Bush's plans for perpetual war abroad and police state repression at home. At least 75,000 people (the police estimate, no doubt low) showed up, one of them being me. There was also a massive police presence, as D.C. and other cops did everything they could to chill and intimidate dissent. (Doubtless the only reason the cops did not attack the protesters (as they did another march in April 2000) was the massive media coverage and fear of political repercussions.) No wonder there's no money for social programs-- it's all being spent on police, prisons, and the military!

This demonstration was an excellent start, but demonstrations alone can NOT stop the war or spike Bush's police state drive. It is vitally important to mobilize the social power of labor. By collectively withholding their labor, the working class can bring the capitalist economy to a standstill and stop the U.S. war machine. For a general political strike against the war! It is also necessary to realize the total bankruptcy of the Democratic Party, which not only acquiesced to Bush's and the Republicans hijacking of democracy in 2000, but have (with very few exceptions) gone along with Bush's terrible war and police state machinations. Build a fighting worker's party!

Did you get teargassed?

 

[REDWAVE]

Don't you wish.

Redwave Redux.

The capitalist socialist.

Once again, this is typical of the scurrilous tactics of fascistic vermin-- they can't respond intelligently to the arguments of the left; they merely engage in vicious ad hominem attacks.

 

[Problem Child]

Don't you wish.

Oh, sorry. Hey, better luck next time!

 

[REDWAVE]

Thanks. Your concern is truly touching-- fascist scum.

And why not? Logic is wasted.

And "Fascistic vermin" is not an ad hominem attack?

Wow, I must have been out surfing when they discussed that in critical thinking 201.

 

[REDWAVE]

Just giving you back a little taste of your own vile spewings.

DOWN WITH FASCIST PIGS!

 

[Starblayde]

The responsibility of the fascistic vermin is to try and beat the crap out of the freeloading hippies...

The responsibility of the freeloading hippy is to whinge about the heavy handedness of the fascistc vermin...

SIMPLE!

PC...you're back baby! woo-hoo!

Hey PC, when last we spoke it was about that severely oppressed group. Cows to be precise. Ours are smarter, I agree. But tend to be repetitive in their utterances (no aliterative pun intended here of course). Probably Harvard grads.

About 20 of my friends went down, I wasn't able to make it. There were five groups organized to protest that day, which were you with?

 

[Problem Child]

But Red, you've got me all wrong!

I don't dislike the fact that you're a commie, stuck in the sixties. I just think you're a total dumbass.

It's two completely different things.

*smooch*

 

[miles]

This could be the fourth time I've asked, redwave. Why would someone who so viciously derides capitalism have links to other websites and automatic casino popup ads on their website?

This is the website listed on your profile:

Every time I've ask you this question you accuse me of all kinds of silly things. I'm not attacking you - just asking a simple question.

Can you respond without attacking me?

 

[Mellon Collie]

Here's a link to the demonstration he's talking about ... for all those actually interested. (Probably just me)

United We March

 

[REDWAVE]

Finally!

Finally, an intelligent comment (other my own, of course). Thanks, Mellon Collie. I came with a group of people from Las Vegas, all college students except for me, with the UNLV Peace Coalition. Of the numerous different political tendencies at the demo, the one I most agree with is the Spartacist League.

 

[REDWAVE]

Thanks

Thanks for the link, MC. I bookmarked it. The "United We March" rally was the one I attended, before all four rallies marched and came together into one gigantic demonstration.

 

[Mellon Collie]

No problem.

Ummmm, if they are working they are selling out thier souls to capitalism in the first place.

If they wanted to fight those evil vile capitalist pigs they would quit thier jobs and never strive to earn money ever again and work out amongst themselves a barter system for thier needs. Its what the patriot movement on the right has done, none bring in money they merely trade between themselves thier goods and services. a barrel of pickles for a piglet, a cow for four sheep, no money.

but you left side patriots are selling out to the capitalist man buy working in the first place.

 

[Mellon Collie]

All I have to say is...

but you left side patriots are selling out to the capitalist man buy working in the first place.

Mass education is needed prior to any sort of attempt to change anything. In our society working is not a necessity for survival but also another means of educating.

Blah blah blah....I'm done.

 

[REDWAVE]

My policy

From this point on, I will respond to any intelligent comments which are made. However, the mindless irrelevant BS from Miles, Problem Child, Ishmael, Todd what's his name, and their ilk will simply be ignored.

 

[Mellon Collie]

Ishmael is my best-est friend, he's going to move in with me and my two roommates and we're all going to have a good time getting drunk and playing Monopoly. Right?

 

[REDWAVE]

Hey, I just realized I'm getting close to my 500th post.

Way to win an arguement
