[lbo-talk] Block Bloc as left fascist cult

Joseph, this isn't a hypothetical

the camp of Occupy Oakland did have a core of anarchists, but only really grew past a few thousand when the people you dismiss as do nothing, useless etc actually put their faith in those very same OO anarchists to understand some very basic common sense campaigning, coalition and demo business rules

the Occupy Oakland Coalition expanded to 40 000 and then fractured when the Black Bloc try-hards used the big tent event, the cover of 40 000 people to make a piss-weak attempt at a building occupation

so, guess what, the 40 000 never showed to any Occupy Oakland events EVER again

don't you get it ?

the Black Bloc tactic fractured a mass movement in Oakland, as it does in EVERY mass movement

why is that hard to understand ?

the police state has integrated Black Bloc into its counter-insurgency operations

Black Bloc IS a tool of the fascist state

you dont need to read fancy articles, just ask around any of the pissed off former Occupy Oakland community coalition partners

what kind of anarchism re-enforces, re-validates and re-energizes the state it is supposed to attack ?

its not anarchism, its left fascist cult which is sadly not self-destructive, instead it sabotages the broader institutions of the left
