So what about all this movement going on. Did people just wake up in 1999 and start protesting all of a sudden? No! So why all the hype? I believe we are all blind sheep following the heard, there are more ways to fight battles than this! Our opponants want us in the strets so they can kick our asses, they don't want us to fight in more effective ways. Our ourgument is one of representation, so lets get innovative young minds! The Fight Is Ours! let us not forget this, but let us not tag it to the first just fight that comes our way. There will be plenty a time coming in the future where we will be in the streets, lets not slaughter ourself, but learn to use it, tactically. By keeping a constant communication with the mainstream we can propagate our message and the go on 'civil strikes'. It will be our well announced and broader accepted form of freedom of speech! We must speak as much as we act, and our actions will speak louder than words. Protesting has been around for a long time, the mighty forces have suppressed far too long, it is blowing up. When we control this energy our opponents will not be able to exploit it for their own benefit. By putting us in the streets they are denying instant credibility. We must speak to the masses through any means necessarry. The spray can is instrumental. Innovations are key. When we move beyond the normal means and the abnormal then we have revelation. The tide is t urning, let us not be discouraged. We must be heard before the violence in the street escalades into lives lost, we must fight for our land, our people, and our control of what the fuck goes on in our own lives, if we all took care of ourselves we wouldnt be fucking with everyone else! PEACE from the Youth World Order

the streets belong to the People; the People belong in the streets. i'm ALL FOR nonviolent direct action street protest. i'm also ALL FOR streetfighting the pigs when they attack our human right to free speech. where is our forum supposed to be, in the convention center? on corporate-controlled tv? in the polling places? our forum is the pavement. wanting to back down from pig violence is a natural reaction 'cause they're scary, but we have to stand our ground sooner or later. and if we go down, we have to go down fighting. yay Black Bloc. you kids are badass.

yes, taking it to the streets is powerful, i agree. i also agree it's not the only way to stir things up. i think the main thing "we" have to do is to get our argument/message/dialogue out in the clear open, outside of our circles and what not. like counterattack the mainstream's propaganda with our own--(creative, well-done) stickers, graffiti, zines, leaflets, music, poetry, manifestos, various artforms, satire, even radio and tv. there should be more people involved w/ this movement, these are the kinds of things that can turn others on who aren't already! "we" have a very strong, valid argument that never gets attention, kind of like how nader probably won't make it into the debates.
whatever we do we should be attacking the Beast from all sides, staying unpredictable, decentralized and creative in the process! yeah!!! keep revolution FUN
keep agitating, boycotting, resisting, infesting, creating!
