the anarchists were protesting against giant corporations, yet I assume they were also against gov't. wouldn't they realize that with no govt Giant business would control everything?
that why I love the giant sign at the beginning: <democracy
Wto>
"Freedom?This isnt about freedom If Im gonna get my balls blown off for a word,my word is poontang"
They were from Oregon, need I say more?
shareAnarchists are also against capitalism...
share ACTUALLY, with no government people would have to defend themselves and there would be no one to control gun sales...so businessmen who haven't ever won a fight in their lives would be pretty well screwed over, and not in a good way.
Also, do not use "retarded" in that sense. Retardation is a genetic disorder. People are born with it, they do not CHOOSE to be retarded. Insulting them via statements like this is like insulting black people for being born black.
There is no difference...and just like racists, I suggest you either walk two moons in the moccasins of the people you are belittling, or go to Hell.
One or the other.
First of all understand that it is a movie made by liberals albeit a very funky liberals but they never represent anarchism properly. That said as an anarchist I consider the movie to be fair on many levels. Also understand that there has to be many tactics and many possibilities it is precisely that which kept the Mayor and Governor on their toes. If all the people on the street are exactly alike then they become too predictable. Having people who are somewhat of a mystery to the authorities keeps the decision makes on edge and that is good.
Hey I am an anarchist as well and from Oregon although I don't know why being from Oregon is such as insult like a previous poster suggested.

The anarchists in Seattle are nothing but a bunch of poor little middle class kids who are bored and want to mess things up with their new-fangled (newly acquired) college knowin's. they wear the kerchiefs so mummy and daddy don't recognize them and cut them off from funding. I've had to deal with those idiots in Seattle way too many times, and it's always about just creating trouble, breaking things, throwing garbage around. They have no real agenda except to make a freaking mess and let others clean it up.
shareSpoken like a true slave fed by media non-reality. First of all anyone who ever broke a windown during a protest did more small firm window installers than any so-called respectable politician ever did. Making Starbucks pay a local firm to install a fresh window can't be bad thing. Secondly revolt has to take different forms. The idea that everyone should be nice to a system that is nice to no one is not credible.
