James, I cannot believe you are saying this. By this logic, every activist that expresses opinions that the Commissariat disapproves could be thrown to the wolves. Striking workers? They disrupt the provision of needed consumer goods. Send in the corporate goons. Occupying public spaces? Gas them.

While I do not necessarily agree with the goals and tactic of many left wing protest movements I would never support any corporate action against them. That is basic principle of solidarity.
