Another tiny gesture

Tagged as:
Neighbourhoods:

On Tuesday and Thursday this week we took a night walk through the city. Filled with disgust at society as we see it, we struck rapidly and repeatedly against various symbols of capitalist culture. 

Cameras pointing into the streets were smashed with rocks. S.U.V's and sports cars had their tires slashed and paint stripped. Cash machines were covered in paint.

 

We know these acts are small, we know that they will not bring capitalism and it's abuses down, but we see them as part of a larger struggle. A struggle in which all individuals are able to strike back against state and capitalism's vicious oppression. We make gestures like this to make it known that there are some who are burning with hatered for the system in it's entirity. More than anything else these acts are a training ground for us, as we seek to practice acts of self-defence against those who attempt to keep us violently chained to the prison society.

Fuck the State.

Fuck Capital.

Destory all Prisons.

no doubt you use atms, total angsty waste of time

a suv is the most easy vehicle to convert to lpgas& the owners could be builders or bouncers etc. As for cctv, have you ever worked on the door of a night club, do it for a while & you will go for that2,
1 in 12 club has it.
Please get real, at least if your going to do actions like this, leave some kind of explanation.
We definetely need a democratic revolution, punishing people like this is reactionary & antirevolutionary.

Political act or crass vandalism?

These sorts of actions are borne out of impotent frustration and anger (which many of us share) but do nothing to change or even shake the capitalist system. Neither are they symbolic of anything other than the very futility of the actions themselves. Furthermore, their indiscriminate nature makes them stupid as well as pointless.

Supposing one of the 'SUV's' (interesting that they use an American term for a 4 x 4) belonged to a doctor who was then prevented from getting to the hospital to save a life or an old person was unable to use the damaged cash machine to get money to buy groceries. Is that striking at capitalism?

These people would be better engaged using their considerable energy to challenge the system at a political level rather than at a personal one or at least having the courage to look the people they are opposing in the eye as they carry out these acts of destruction... or is that too difficult for them?

you need a bigger set

i live in the city centre and i didn't notice it or hear about it. maybe save up your paint and do something that stands out.
