We will never get rid of capitalism until the control of corporate media over people's mind's is broken. They are one of our enemies, I am quite wary of pandering to them. Trying to do things which will cause corporate media to portray us positively and not doing things that will cause them to portray us negatively will effectively give the capitalists control over our movement. They control the media and the media decides what looks good and bad. If we always do what looks good, they can just change around what looks good and get us to do what they want. What needs to be done is to expand the reach of independant media and weaken corporate media. In the US, where I live, I don't advocate the use of the violent tactics used in Genoa. I'm not familiar enough with the Italian situation to say whether they are appropriate. But we should always remember who the real agressors are - capitalists and the State.

Agreed.
