I\'d like to add a very important comment. These pictures are of a small contingent of anarchists who participated in today\'s anti-WEF marches. There were also plenty of anarchists who carried puppets, played music, and did other things. It should also be pointed out that the AWIP march would not have been possible without the hard work of New York City anarchists.

It\'s always very frustrating when other activists and the media diss anarchists because they think the only ones on the streets are the ones in the black bloc. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to anarchist involvement. We need to be more outspoken about this.

yeah it pisses me off when people like u2 who earn millions of dollars mourns about the 911 events, while they are directly responsible for the crap going on this world. before i dropped tv, i saw a pathetic thing on tv about one of the richest man in the world (he owns the biggest casino in las vegas). this guy explained how sad he was and how he did not understand how such a thing could happen, etc, etc. i was really about to puke.

Look in the mirror, you pseudo-anarchists. You will see the enemy, and it isn\'t pretty. You talk about intolerance blah blah blah but you espouse bashing someone\'s skull in? You don\'t like human beings just because they are rich? I guess it doesn\'t matter that people like Bill Gates give away billions of billions of dollars of their personal fortunes--fortunes that they deserve through hard work and creative genius.

You guys call yourselves anarchists, but you aren\'t. And even though I don\'t believe in anarchism as a form of human organization because I believe it is an abstract that cannot be achieved in real life, I do know one thing--real anarchists would not spew the hatred that you do.

I have a better name for some of you: petty street thugs.

Those rich people got rich by the backs (literally and figuratively) of THEIR workers. Their wage slaves.

anarchists need to do more self-promotion. Not nearly enough anarchist self-promotion.

Ha.

The dumbass who brought those shields should be run through a spanking machine. Everyone who carried a shield got arrested.

Bright idea, goofball.

Gee, Nikkos, I\'ve been told to shut the f*ck up so many times on leftist websites that it really is getting boring. And you anarchists simply must think of something else. Nothing sounds so much like authoritarianism than \"shut the f*ck up\" Is that how you will conduct your new society? Geez.

Now, Jess, you lazy old thing. No poor person ever gave a person a job. And as far as \"wage slaves\" I wager a bet you\'ve NEVER been one. The good thing about being a so-called \"wage-slave\" is that they get to go home after their 8 hours and not worry about the overhead, the fact that people depend on them for a living, etc. etc. etc. Many people like earning a wage, and not owning their own business. Owning a business is endless work, and then little lazy snot-nosed know-nothings like YOU march around with your nose stuck up acting like YOU CARE about people. hahahahaha Get a clue. Get a job. Work hard. Maybe you\'ll actually amount to something. But don\'t blame people who have worked like hell to achieve, and don\'t pretend like the people who earn hourly wagers are victims. There are always choices to be made in life, sweety, and rewards with each way you choose. But if YOU choose to be a victim, then you must accept the consequences for your lazy, whiny, complaining behavior.
