Poll: Who do people think bombed the bank?

[Coggeh]

This may seem pointless and pedantic so if deemed as such by an admin just throw it in chit chat.

Many people have stated various opinions about who bombed it and I was wondering is their a general consensus among people?

[FSL]

To put it bluntly, enemies of the people.

[LeninBalls]

I meant to vote nihilists, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the KKE or anarchists.

[Wanted Man]

Other: it's irrelevant what we on Revleft think, so this poll is worthless. Whoever did it, the damage has been done, and that's the worst part of it. Would it be interesting if the exact perpetrators were identified, if this might help prevent such things in the future? Maybe, but it is not right to play the role of the state's prosecutor, so don't count on it.

If the authorities arrest suspects, it will inevitably be used to try and smother the class struggle. To try and play along with this blame game is nothing but distraction from the matters at hand.

Nihilists arnt necessarily disorganised youth. They organise along similar lines to insurrectionist anarchists. To call them disorganised youth is also to dismiss the poliical nature of Nihilism (in this case political social nihilism rather than just a feeling of nihilistic despair...)

I agree what i was trying to get across is nhilistics youth basically i meant disorganised unaffiliated people who used the protests as a reason to throw petrol bombs, rocks etc at police.

I could have done the poll a bit better actually.

Also i accept Wanted mans point and I think he's spot on in his assessment so I would like to ask an admin if people aren't too pushed to bin this poll or at the least move it to chit chat.

Thats if people aren't pushed about it staying open.

I wouldn't be surprised if off duty cops did it, the greek police are clearly capable of anything, if their treatment of the anarchists in anything to go by.

[Charles Xavier]

Whoever did it, whatever ideology they claim or state agency that paid them to do it are enemies of the of people.

[pastradamus]

I voted for the second option, but what pains me is the lack of an apology from whoever did it.

[Ocean Seal]

I believe that it was the youth, they probably were shouting anarchy or something yet they probably don't know what anarchy is.

[AK]

So if anarchist was found to be the perpetrator... the ideology of anarchism and all anarchists are immediately enemies of the people? This has the same arguemental value as saying "Stalin killed so-and-so-many people, so Communism is evviiilll".

Gosh, it really helps your political cause to be prejudiced, doesn't it? After all, Anarchism is for kiddies (http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s273/terrorpenguin/calvintheanarchist.jpg), isn't it?

He's probably right, there are alot of kids who listen to Rage Against The Machine and think it makes them anarchists who would do ridiculous shit like this just for the fun of it.

Maybe so, but is it right to stereotype and to skip to assumptions?

Firebombing a bank just for fun is the kind of thing they would do.

I guess so. Let's leave it for now.

(Another way of saying I lost the argument so shut up :lol:)

Firebombing a bank just for fun is the kind of thing they would do.

Seems like we should be encouraging this kind of fun as opposed to getting high or going to the movies, I think it would be a little more productive.


I think anarchists did it, anarchists fire bomb banks, its what they do in Greece, this time it went wrong. Lets be honest about it, lets take care of it like revolutionaries do, and lets learn from it, and keep moving forward.

[Robocommie]

It's certainly not like we haven't all felt the desire to firebomb a major capitalist institution at one time or another.

[Dooga Aetrus Blackrazor]

I can't help but think of "Fight Club." I suppose you can't really destroy financial institutions with firebombs, though, as all the data is still available online.

I would prefer communism, but I'll certainly settle for this.
