Black Block call to action for Feb. 15th March!
Feb. 15th, 2003 Call For Los Angeles Black Bloc
A Proposal for an Anti-Authoritarian, Anti-Capitalist Black Bloc.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As the rising tide of fascism and capitalist domination continues to
gain momentum and strength, the time for direct action against the
oppressive state and capitalist structure becomes all the more urgent.
As anti-authoritarian anti-capitalists of all stripes, we send solidarity
to the sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, and friends who are out in
the streets protesting against the coming slaughter of innocent civillians
in Iraq.
For this reason, and to open up new avenues of resistance and add vitality
and strength to an already growing movement of conscious individuals across
the Los Angeles area, we are calling for the mobilization of
all militant anti-authoritarian anti-capitalists, anarchists, and like minded individuals
to converge during the Feb. 15th March in Los Angeles, CA. We have been silent far too
long, and will join in the demonstration in solidarity with the oppressed of the world
and against the illegal, fascist regime of King GW Bush.
BASIS OF UNITY
--------------
We do not accept power games being played at the expense of
working class people, humanity in general, and all life on earth.
We do not endorse any individual, institution, or state of mind that seeks to
dominate and place itself above the people.
We recognize the right of all people to engage in resistance at different
levels that are suitable for them, but we also recognize that no one
particular tactic should come to dominate an entire movement of resistance.
We recognize that the fundamental diseases that afflict humanity are hierarchical
forms of society based on domination and exploitation. From this follows, but is
not limited to: racism, sexism, hate, murder, fascism, etc.
We recognize the urgency to set forth an initiative in a city reknowned for its
violent police, that this convergence will be a demonstration of resistance and
the beginning of an ongoing presence within Los Angeles without being afraid of
standing up for what we believe in.
We recognize that warfare is a systemic problem, and that the only way to rid the
earth of this problem is to remove the structures of capitalism and authority.
--------------
The Black Bloc is called autonomously, and comprised of groups of autonomous
affinity groups, but who will be marching concurrently with the "mainstream"
demonstration called for by the Coalition for World Peace, Not in Our Name, and
Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace. For more info on
