NO WAR BUT THE CLASS WAR CONTINGENT : Indybay

WHAT: An anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian contingent in the March 15th anti-war protest.
WHEN: Meet at 11:00.
WHERE: Meet at the I.A.C. rally. We will march as part of the larger demonstration. Later, many of us will be going on the unpermitted march as individuals.
BRING: Black, red and red & black clothing and flags. Banners. Pamphlets and flyers.
DO: We want this to be a chill space for anarchists and anti-state, class warriors to make a public showing, with a clear political message. We will not be doing any direct actions or using any confrontational tactics while marching with the larger anti-war demonstration.

The United States government is preparing to escalate its periodic bombings on Iraq into a full-scale invasion. This war, like all wars between nations, is not about disarmament or human rights. It is about control over resources. It is about making profits for those who own and control society, expanding their business and military empires. It is also about distracting poor and working people in the U.S. away from our discontent with our lives under early 21st century American capitalism. It is about increasing nationalism. It is an attempt to get us to identify with our rulers and exploiters, in the face of a foreign enemy.

We will not be confused or distracted. We are clearly opposed to this war, and all wars between nations, whether sanctioned by the U.N or not. But our alternative is not pointless grumbling, an abstract plea for 'peace' or an attempt to convince our rulers that war is not in their interest. War between nations is never in OUR interests. In a society largely stuck in a debate between capitalist war and capitalist peace, we hope to show that another kind of peace is possible, a peace without poverty, without exploitation, without governors, bosses and managers. But to achieve that kind of peace, another kind of war is necessary, a war that sees not only Bush, Blair, Bin Laden, Chirac, Schorder and Saddam as our enemies, but all bosses, bureaucrats, politicians, police, landlords and capitalists.

So on March 15 -- international day against police brutality, 2047 years after the Roman emperor Julius Caeser was stabbed to death --we will loudly declare our opposition to the American empire, and our solidarity with working class resistance around the world.
